Greetings Hello,
If you've caught a swarm, what's next? Swarm on over to the BeeGroup Meeting...
|
We are meeting in person at Karen's house and we will scope out her hives. She's recently caught a swarm, about 3 weeks in now, so that should be interesting to look at--is the queen alive and laying? Are they drawing comb? Tuesday June 20th, 5:45 pm.
|
Where: Karen's House. 549 State Route 214, Chichester, NY 12416. Across from the Post Office and Yoga joint. ;-)

Don't forget to check our reference section below...

If you see something that we should have at our fingertips, please forward and I'll add it to the References section for future ease of access.

I sent a sample down a month ago and my hive was loaded with mites -- in December! Please share results with Rob,Tom and the BeeGroup so we can help keep tabs on what is happening in the 'hood.
