Dr. Mike Bentz will be presenting part 2 of 2 of “The Queen Production Process”.

Doc Bentz is doing a follow-up presentation to his previous topic with more in-depth discussion on queen rearing. In part one he reviewed some basic equipment and answered questions. For Thurs. Jun 16, he'll wrap-up any questions from part one and briefly describe the grafting process, the shaker box and a finishing colony.

Conveniently, Doc is hosting a workshop the Saturday after the meeting (Sat. June 18, 10:30am) at his apiary to demonstrate the process and show equipment. If you are interesting in knowing better what it takes to do this at home, even on a hobby basis, this one is for you. The workshop is free to all. Just show up at 10:30am.
