Hive inspection and queen marking

    This section will be used for new beekeepers to have an opportunity to do hands on hive inspections and for marking queens, as the opportunity arises. The next hive inspection will be at Nat Bosco’s apiary in Yardley on Saturday April 20 at 9 am.  Some of Nat’s hives look like they are about to swarm, so it’s a good time to see the telltale signs.  The group will be limited to 10 people. If you are interested, please respond to the banter for this topic. This is on a first come first serve basis. It is intended to be very hands-on, so we want to make sure there is plenty of room to do the work, and to have more one on one training. The address will be provided the day before the event. Hope to see some of you there.

    Picture from today's inspection.  Everyone got a chance to open up a hive a achieve specific activities, based on what was going on in the hive.  Many thanks for the help folks.  It was a good time, and a good learning experience.
