We are pleased to offer a new experience in queen rearing for beekeepers. Dr. Del Barber and Debbie Gilmore are teaming up to provide a hands-on workshop for interested beekeepers. Upon completion of this workshop, beekeepers could end up with their own virgin queen bees. Highlights will include:
- Construction of a Miller Frame
- Demonstration of the Cloak Board
- Demonstration of the use of a Queen Condo
- Demonstration of a Nuc Hive set up
- Use of and importance of Queen Rearing Calendars
- Using new queens to make splits
- Visiting an apiary to demonstrate the insertion of the
Miller frame
- Follow up mentoring by workshop instructors
Most importantly, this will be an outstanding opportunity to meet area beekeepers and develop your beekeeping skills. We look forward to receiving your application.
