Last Apiary Workshop of 2019
This Saturday 12-07-2019 Noon to 2PM, at the BCBC Apiary at the Root Cause Farm (formally The Lord’s Acre). At this workshop we will evaluate honey stores, feed the bees with the “Mountain Camp Sugar” method and treat the bees with oxalic acid vapor one last time. As always I will answer your questions. Always bring some water and a veil. Bring an organic vapor mask if you have one. If you don’t have a mask you will have to stand up-wind while we are injecting vapor Marshall Mullins, State Certified Beekeeper, Manager of the BCBC/Lord’s Acre Apiary, 828-231-8284, mars1952@gmail.com No more workshops this year 2019.
