NEXT SCHEDULED GENERAL MEETING WILL BE ON ZOOM – May 2nd 2024
May 2nd 2024
Hey beekeepers! We have Dr. Dewey Caron doing a presentation about Supering, Nectar Flow and Honey Production. Perfect timing. We had planned to do this meeting in person but we had a change of plans. Fortunately, we will still have a presentation with Dr Caron. Bee there of bee square.
Harvesting Honey is a joy for a beekeeper. For some of us it may not be the sole purpose for keeping bees but when there is extra honey, it is a very special treat.
Some of us work very hard to time the nectar flow so we can maximize how much extra honey there is to harvest. There is a lot that goes into it. Dr Dewey Caron will cover this process and how to make sure you ‘check all the boxes’ to have a successful harvest.
You are invited to a Zoom meeting.
When: May 2, 2024 06:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

“I enjoyed professional appointments at Cornell (1968-70), Univ of Maryland (1970-81) and U Delaware 1981-2009, serving as entomology chair at the last 2. I spent a sabbatical year at the USDA Tucson lab 1977-78 and had 2 Fulbright awards for projects in Panama and Bolivia with Africanized bees.
