Winter Ready: Prepare your Colonies for Survival
Saturday August 13th, 2016

The best time to prepare your colonies for winter is late summer. Don’t lose colonies through beekeeper error. Learn how to make sure your colony enters the winter strong and healthy, so it winters well and builds up rapidly in the spring.

This classroom and apiary course walks you through prepping your colonies for winter:

• Monitor and treat for varroa mites
• How to rear strong winter bees that can survive a long winter
• When to combine colonies
• How to evaluate colony strength and health

Cost is $125 per person.
