Seasonal Skill Saturday: Winter Preperations
24/08/2024 @ 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM
Join us at our training apiary for a session covering all things overwintering. We will talk about what colonies require to successfully overwinter, methods to prepare a colony for the best survival chances, and also cover certain manipulations to set up a hive correctly. After a bit of discussion and dry run-throughs, you will go into the colonies to assess them for overwintering suitability before deciding what needs to be done with each of these. Specific things to be covered include:
- Feeding
- Uniting
- Disease inspections
- Varroa control
- Pests such as wasps and mice
