SUMMARY:Backyard Beekeepers - Free LIVE Presentation with Kirk Webster - We
 ston CT
DESCRIPTION:March 26\, 2024 7:30 PM presentation - Weston CT\n\nThe Back Ya
 rd Beekeepers Association in Connecticut is proud to present a FREE live p
 resentation with Kirk Webster on Tuesday\, March 26. Kirk will speak about
  beekeeping without treatment of any kind. His presentation begins promptl
 y at 7:30pm. We suggest arriving at 7:00 to allow time to socialize with o
 ther like-minded individuals. The location is Norfield Congregational Chur
 ch located at 64 Norfield Rd in Weston\, CT. Even though the event is free
 \, please register at https://backyardbeekeepers.com.\n\nKirk Webster is t
 he owner and operator of Champlain Valley Bees &amp\; Queens in Middlebury
 \, Vermont. He is well known for producing strong Russian Queens and nucs\
 , as well as honey. His apiary is Kirk’s only source of income.\n\nKirk 
 uses the natural processes active in nature to maintain his hives without 
 treatment for mites and other pests or pathogens - his apiary has been tre
 atment free since 2002. Each year Kirk maintains about 300 colonies that h
 e uses for honey production\, around 400 baby nucs\, and he tries to provi
 de for sale of an additional 400-500 treatment-free nucs of Russian herita
 ge that have been tested by over- wintering them in Vermont. The bees and 
 queens he produces are highly sought after and prized for their enhanced a
 bility to survive both varroa and the weather extremes we have here in the
  Northeast.\n\nKirk is also a writer and has written many articles and ess
 ays\, many of which can be viewed on a website at kirkwebster.com. Kirk u
 ses this website to share his beekeeping knowledge and experiences\, explo
 re the issues he thinks are most important – “without interference\, e
 diting or censorship” – and to allow him to pull together into one pla
 ce all the things he has written since 2005.\n\nQuestions? Contact BYBA’
 s Paula Wolf at paulawolf@email.com.\n\nThe Back Yard Beekeepers Associat
