Here is David's Slide Deck that he sent to us from his presentation. We have requested his permission to post only on our website. Please respect the authors request of not posting on any social media platform.

David Hocutt will give a presentation on honey bee biology. He has visited us once in the past and discussed checker boarding. His presentation this Thursday has much information for new beekeepers and the seasoned beekeeper. The presentation will include Honey bee anatomical structures, honey bee communication, honey bee pheromones and the effect they have on honeybees, and honey bee reproduction on an individual and colony level.

David Hocutt is a Certified Eastern Apicultural Society Master Beekeeper. David serves on the boards of the Central Indiana Beekeeping Club, the North Central Beekeeping Club, the Beekeepers of Indiana, and the Eastern Apicultural Society and is a life member of these organizations. David has completed six years of college level courses regarding honey bee health and nutrition and he delights in sharing what he has learned to educate both beekeepers and the general public concerning bees and beekeeping. David will give you a new perspective on bees and beekeeping in an entertaining way.
