Hello,
Greetings and Salutations! :-)
|
The bees are ramping up! You might not think so with the snow still on the ground, but I hope you are checking out your hives and see them flying on 40 degree days. Certainly, one of the best things you can do is feed them, not just sugar, but pollen or bee substitute, as well. This is the time of year they can starve just before the finish line.
|
Come on this month's VIDEO CALL and let's talk about what you are seeing, if your hives are surviving, and what we can do to help our bees get to the spring build up alive. ;-)
|
Come talk about your bees and share some knowledge.
|
7:00 PM, Monday, March 15th.
|
If you call in late, PLEASE don't interrupt the discussion and allow whoever was talking to continue to do so. Otherwise it makes it tough to have a successful interaction.
|
Please VIDEO in and put on your VIDEO SCREEN--we'd love to see you! You can login on the internet browser, no need to download the program. If you have to, you can call in, but seeing all of you would be so much better, almost like being at the library again... Wear a funny hat! ;-)

Research uncovers new wild bee virus
BOZEMAN, Mont. — In an international collaborative effort, researchers at Montana State University co-discovered a virus that infects bees, including both native mining bees and honeybees. The new virus was named Andrena associated bee virus-1, or AnBV-1, since it was most prevalent in mining bees, part of the family Andrena.

Beltsville Lab: If your bees die, God Forbid!, please send a sample to the Beltsville Lab in Maryland. The analysis is free and they will email you the results. They check for Nosema and Mites.

Hudson Valley Hives is a beekeeping group that meets at the Olive Free Library on a monthly basis and discuss all things beekeeping. The meeting is driven by members questions and sharing experiences with the goal of spreading timely knowledge among fellow beekeepers. It is very informal and we welcome anyone interested to participate. If you are just thinking about getting started in beekeeping, a new beekeeper, or a seasoned beekeeper, you will benefit from the group discussions. There is no membership fee. The Olive Free Library graciously provides a meeting place for our group and we encourage you to make a donation to the library if you find the BeeGroup helpful.
