Mother’s day Mite Treatments!

On this day we will be assessing all the hives in our region. Specifically, we will be doing sugar shakes, counting mites, and learning how to establish % infections. Come learn how to make this happen and what to do once you have these numbers. While we are there we will be looking at which colonies need supers or frame rotations. Never done a frame rotation? Come learn! Your mother would be proud that you are taking care of your 30,000 babies.

The cost of this class will be $50 per session and is NON-REFUNDABLE due to the fact that it is a small class & fills up fast.
