Thank you ~ Nancy Ruppert, who provided some timely information about different types of splits. We inspected three hives and were able to demonstrate making a split using a queen cell from one of the hives.
Thanks to all who came out!
Do you offer beekeeper classes?
Dave, Yes we do. We are planning our next class to start in late January. this will give you plenty of time to order your bees and get your equipment if you dont already have it, before spring. I’ll send you an email when we finalize the details.
