About the Event
Getting your bees past their first year is a huge hurtle, but you did it! Â You've gotten them through inspections, mite treatments, winter feeding and more. Â Now its time to get ready for their second season. Â Unlike year one, the bees have their home comb all built out. Â As the days get longer and warmer, your bees will explode with activity, foraging and SWARMING. Â Come learn about why bees swarm, how to catch it before it happens, prevent it, and deal with it. Â We will discuss splits for the backyard beekeeper, pests, diseases, and treatments, and more!Â
