Greetings Hello,
We are meeting, in person at the Olive Free Library! Tuesday April 18th, 5:45 pm. (The Library closes at 7).
|
Getting Warm! Might be the start of swarm season.
|
We have some Beltsville Lab results. In this get together we will look at them and try to interpret them. It should be very informative.
|
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.

NOTE: EPA rescinded use of extended release oxalic as of March 22 2023 for any state that had previously approved it. Note, too, that he shows data that the vapor is more effective than the drizzle method. Something to think about.

Honeybee swarming season underway
|
St Martin Parish... According to a local Acadiana farmer Calvin Boutte, right now honeybees are searching for a new location for their hive.
|
|
Boutte wants people to know to not spray the bees with anything.
|
Honeybees swarm for several months and a sight of bee swarms means overcrowding in the hive.
