Past Event
Learn what happens to honeybees during their “dormant” winter months and what you can do to carry your hives successfully into the next season. You’ll learn how to assess and increase the strength of your colony and determine the appropriate amount of honey stores your hive will need to survive through the winter and early spring, including when and how to provide supplemental feeding. This class will include discussion on the steps to take to physically prepare your hive for the winter, including the various methods available for protecting your hives from wind and cold. The course will conclude with a review of winter pest management techniques and an off-season “to-do” list for improving your beekeeping knowledge and skills.
This class will be held online via the Zoom platform. Registered participants will receive a link to the class a few days prior.
