Dr. Mike Bentz will lead a discussion on practical beekeeping tips and tricks. Mike is also a queen breeder and is part of the Indiana Queen Breeders Association. As we go through several hives in our apiaries, it's nice to have the right things with us... and it's nice to have done the right preparations earlier in the season to benefit from those preparations later when time is short and you have lot's to do.

From combining hives, to adding additional wax to your foundation frames before putting them in your hives... to other practical tips and tricks, Mike will enlighten us!

Bring your questions and maybe Mike will take a second to address it! See you at the Sunman American Legion this Thursday at 6:30pm!
