Jason Morgan and Jeff Ginn will be demonstrating the alcohol wash to get an accurate mite count in your colonies. Bring your veil and a chair if you like. Anyone is welcome to come up as close as they like and look in the hive, ask questions, etc. This demonstration is for YOU. We believe that the alcohol wash and measuring your mite numbers is the single most important thing you can do with your hives. By keeping the mites in check, you are proactively preventing, disease, sickness, failing colonies, poor performance and other mysterious hive ailments.

After the demonstration, we'll move inside where Jeff Montag will lead a roundtable discussion. There will be an opportunity to also ask any questions about the alcohol wash performed outside. We hope to see you there and bring your questions!
