This is a hands-on event where we will take the On the Spot queen rearing technique and implement it. We will have already notched the cells 7 days prior and will be able to show you queen cells and do starts from them. We will also show you the first step, which is how to notch.
Please note, this site is not easily accessible to the handicap as the hives are out in the middle of a field and will require a walk there.
We are an active local beekeeping community hosting public educational events and hands-on field days since 1976. The Louisville, Kentucky metro area and surrounding counties are full of beekeepers! You may even have one living on your street, keeping bees in their backyard, without even knowing it. Often quirky, sometimes funny, but always interesting, the urban beekeeper loves to share knowledge on the life and benefits of honeybees and the challenging yet entertaining hobby of being a beekeeper.
