Spring swarming season for honeybees is just around the corner. This Spring Management workshop is essential for all backyard beekeepers who need a a confidence boost and expert guidance in swarm prevention.
With Varroa Mite due to hit our hives any day now, it is more important than ever to prevent swarming.
The advanced 3 hour session will cover all theoretical aspects of swarm management, and pest & disease control and Rachael will be on hand to answer any questions you have about managing your hives, including Varroa Mite Management.
next session dates in oct24 - will be announced soon
LET’S TALK ABOUT VARROA ! Varroa Mite is here! Time to take action!
There is an increasing level of industry feedback coming in about the emerging Varroa situation in NSW.
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR BEES ALIVE, YOU NEED TO BE READY TODAY !
We are all in this together, entering a new phase of beekeeping. The more we share and support each other, the more resilient we will all be getting through this initial tough stage. If you haven’t been able to attend the NSW DPI’s full-day Varroa Mite Training or can’t get to the Illawarra or Shoalhaven Beekeepers Club Meetings (respectively on 11th & 17th July), this LIVE ONLINE MEETING is a chance for you to chat with other beekeepers and an experienced Beekeeper & Educator Benjamin Durie from @humblehivecollective (www.thehumblehivecollective.com.au) with his first-hand experiences dealing with Varroa Mite in his hives RIGHT NOW in the Hunter Valley.
This will be an interactive, non-judgemental, respectful session where we can ALL be mindful of the fact that NONE of us have dealt with this threat before in Australia. So we are ALL learning and here to support one another. WE CAN DO THIS!
