Spring is in full swing. Come learn how to manage the early spring to minimize swarming and maximize build up for the honey flows. We will be equalizing hives across the apiary and restocking some that need more bees. We will perform mite checks and check on overall colony health as well, a great time to practice both.
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. This class will be taught by Danny Najera.
You will need to bring the following:
•Lunch/drinks

You may also be required to lift heavy bee boxes.
