This Saturday 09-14-2019 10 am to Noon, at the BCBC Apiary at the Root Cause Farm (formally The Lord’s Acre) (directions at the bottom of this page):
It is time to do another sugar shake to evaluate the effectiveness of the Apilife Var mite treatments. We will also do a general inspection, evaluate honey stores, feed the bees and, assign volunteers to feed the club bees. There is a lot of work to do so we will probably run overtime. As always I will answer your questions. Always bring some water and a veil.
I hope you can make it Saturday.
