Sunday, March 15th, 12:00pm – 2:00pm, Beekeeping 201 – Hive Inspection and Logs.

In this class Danny will be showing us the fundamentals for performing a hive inspection. We will focus on minimizing both the damage to the honeybees and the hive equipment as well as the signs to look for in a healthy colony. Images will be used to demonstrate typical and healthy hives. We will finish with the importance of hive logs and tracking your data over time.

Everyone, regardless of beekeeping experience, is welcome.

The course fee is $40 and will be held at the Bees in the ‘Burbs store complex (28634 Maple Valley Black Diamond Road SE, Maple Valley 98038). Please call or stop by the store to sign up.
Warm regards,

P.S. If you have a bee suit bring it along.  Visiting the bee hives is not on the agenda, but if the weather is nice & time allows we may go to the apiary.
