April 15th @ 630PM: Club meeting @ Deerfield Community Church / Zoom.
Social @ 6:30 (bring food to share!)
Program @ 7pm
Dorinda Priebe will be presenting the method she’s employed for many years to manage her hives, prevent swarming and keep her bees at home and working to make nice honey crops for her, rather than swarming off and depleting her colonies. I’m really excited for this presentation as it will continue our recent efforts to educate our members on the biological drivers of swarming and the what’s and how’s we might choose to employ in our apiaries.

June 15th – PBA Summer Hive Dive and Picnic @ the President’s Homestead
See Newsletter for more details as this event gets closer.
Ben Chadwick will be conducting the hive dive and describing what he sees and what he does as he goes along. This is a great opportunity to learn from an experienced beekeeper as he goes about his inspection process. We’ll also be demonstrating a couple of mite checking methods and possibly practicing queen marking technique on drones! The plan is to conduct the hive dive late morning and then have a club meeting and picnic afterwards. You won’t want to miss this great opportunity for learning and talking bees with other club members.
