The latest from the Bumbling Beekeeper

Our sixth class of beginning bee school is this Sunday at 6 pm ET and we'll be talking about stings, what goes under your hives, why reaching out to the bee community is so important and some of the cool things I've learned by doing so, and more on installing nucs and packages including when to add more frames and why this is one time when moving frames around is a good thing.  

As a reminder the zoom link for the class is:

If you haven't attended classes, you can still come.  It's free.  You can learn more by clicking on the Bee School tab at our site.

I've been adding some posts that provide more information around some of the topics we've covered so far.  The post links below are some of the most important ones.

Also a reminder that we aren't meeting on April 4th, but we'll be back for the remaining 3 classes the following Sunday.

Thank you to everyone who has attended and/or supported my beeyard (and me over the years!).  I'm really enjoying this class and getting to know new people.
