Dear reader,
Another month has almost past and it is time to meet again. I must apologize to those that attended last months meeting where I stated that Roger Patterson would be our special guest speaker this month. I failed to look closely at the calendar and missed the fact that this months meeting would be earlier since the 1st was a Monday. So Roger will be arriving a week later and not be at our meeting. Roger is an inspiration to all beekeepers and I encourage you to consider meeting up with him while he is here. Two opportunities are detailed below.
The weather has thrown us another curve ball. After an early spring warm spell and bees building up fast, we have had a set back with some cooler weather over the last few weeks. This has caused many hives to shut down brood rearing and many others to run low on stores. It is important to verify your colonies have sufficient food supply and supplement feed if needed, especially if you have made nucs or have some smaller colonies.
I still have Nozevit+ in smaller quantities (10 treatments) for those looking to take the proactive approach to keeping your bees healthy.
See you on Monday and bring your questions and topics for discussion.
Rob.....
