SPRING TASKS
With the arrival of spring, check your hives for food stores and feed if needed. Top feeders are best until night-time temps stay in the upper 40's or higher. Add Fumigilan- B (for Nosema) to at least one gallon of sugar water for each hive. A good way to test for stores is to lift the hive from the back. If you have checked periodically over the winter, you should have a comparison weight. Feeding might be necessary until fruit trees start to bloom. Packages will need to be feed for 4-6 weeks after introducing into the hives. Don't open the hives to inspect the frames until warmer weather as the brood (baby bees) is very sensitive to temps under 60 degrees.

Our seminars are for those new to beekeeping as well as those looking for more detailed information or an opportunity for review . Our informal, interactive approach covers the basics of the beehive, the honeybees life cycle, splits, swarming, harvest issues and much more!

There will be seminars on April 5th and May 10th. Sessions later in the summer will be determined by demand.

Each session runs from 9-4 and lunch is included.Weather permitting, you will also visit the apiary for demonstrations and practical applications. Please bring a beesuit, veil and gloves for apiary participation . Minors must have signed permission from parents/guardians to participate.

Fees: $35 per person, $30 each additional or $80 for family of 3, $10 each over 3. NOTE: Seminar fees should be pre-paid at least one week prior to the scheduled date, unless prior arrangements are made. Fee is $40 per person on the day of the seminar.
