BEEKEEPING WORKSHOPS: April thru July 2022, To Be Announced

We will bee conducting several beekeeping workshops in 2022. Xact dates TBD, yet they will bee on a Saturday, April thru July. Our informal workshops bee free to those on our Nuc lists, and focus upon the bees needs in the upcoming month. We will bee breaking into smaller groups according to xperience and interest, and the Swarmbustin’ crew will illustrate various techniques employed in assisting with their needs. We encourage Q&A, are fond of other approaches to this Art and Adventure beeing shared with the group, & delight in collaborating towards self-sustaining beekeeping with your bees, in our operation, and regionally.

We always recommend tending a minimum of 2 hives; for a beginner - 2 hives is a perfect number, offering flexibility and options. With 2 hives, your chance of bringing one through the winter increases. Inevitably, some hives will bee strong in population, perhaps too string, other may need a boost. With 2 hives, you can strengthen one with the other by moving frames of brood, or by switching locations. If one hive appears to bee Queenless, You can diagnose with the other hive, & if found to bee Queenless, can bee corrected with ‘The Other One’! And so, aside from liking to spend your money, I would like to know that everyone securing Nucs from us is managing a minimum of 2 hives. Now then, although there bee advantages to beeginning the season with multiple hives, you can split your first Nuc a few weeks after installing. Workshops are geared for such management practices!

Registration not required but RSVP appreciated, allowing us to properly prepare for our crowd.

Workshops will bee held at the Swarmbustin' Honey Bee Farm, 190 Thouron road, West Grove, PA 19390.

• Informal workshops focus on The Bees Current Needs
• Bring your questions!
• Learn how to split hives and lessen swarm impulse
• Reduce Varroa Mite count without affecting honey yield
• By collaborating let's approach self-sustaining beekeeping!
