For November, Jeff Montag presents!

"As a nuc and queen producer, I find that many prospective and new beekeepers have a lot of misgivings about what they should expect in the buildup of their colony.

I plan to present the steps “from start to honey”, for those who I mentor.  The year-plus progression in taking a new colony from start (nuc, swarm, package), with all new equipment, to a honey producing hive.

While it will be targeted for the new beekeepers who are looking forward to that first honey harvest, it will provide great opportunity for our more experienced members to add in their thoughts and how they may vary the steps."

SIBA Meetings occur the 3rd Thursday of each month through the year. Topics are announced here ahead of each meeting.
