Fourteen members met virtually on Monday evening for an informal chat on spring beekeeping.

Topics covered included the installation of nucs and packages, solid bottom boards versus screened bottom boards, spring feeding, and…as always…varroa mite management.

We had a wide range of levels of experience, with some members who have had bees for over 20 years, others with several years of beekeeping under their belt, and a few who are getting their first bees in the next week.

Many thanks to those of you who attended and were so generous with your knowledge!

Pop-Up Zoom chats are sporadic and spontaneous. An invitation is sent out to all members a week before and there is no agenda. It’s a chance to talk informally with other beekeepers, share notes and observations, and ask questions. No business, just bees.
