October we hosted Dorothey Morgan from the Kentucky Queen Bee Breeders Association and Chasing Feral Honey Bees Association. She spoke about Winter and Spring Management of your colony and gave a nice presentation giving you options. Lots of information here in the video below!

Hive Inspections and Splits

We went out to Lara’s apiary in Fairdale and split a hive there using the OTS method. We will also hung a swarm trap to show you how to do this.

Our March education session included information from Tim Hollins, KBA VP, on swarms and swarm traps. If you are interested in obtaining bees without purchasing them, here is your chance to learn how to do so.
