Holy Smokers – What’s happening in my bee yard?!

swarm

Have you ever taken a look at your bee yard and saw something going on that you just couldn’t identify?  Why are they walking around on the ground, looking confused? Why are there bees
flying and poking around the lid of my hive? Are the “thousands” of bees flying around my hive just happy-go-lucky and glad to be outside, or are they being robbed?

If you’ve had these experiences, or any others of note, you’ll be glad you came to our February 2nd monthly bee meeting at Groce Methodist Church.  We’ll have help with these conundrums, hear those of other beekeepers, and provide you with some answers!

Do you have a “trick” you tried in your bee yard that you were sure would fix “that” problem, only  to have it end up as a “flop” for you or your bees?  Bring some examples and share them with experienced beekeepers who will describe some “flops” of their own.

This meeting promises to be fun, interesting and enlightening!

Members will again have the opportunity to renew their membership to BCBC.  Membership applications/renewal forms are available here.
