Duane Bischoff will cover the topic of swarms and swarm catching! He'll cover the materials needed to make them yourself as well as tips and techniques on when and where to put them out. He'll also cover transferring them from the trap to a hive. Join us in April at our new venue, The Sunman American Legion.
This is a free online workshop beginning at 6pm EST via Facebook LIVE @ Purdue Extension-Ohio County Page.
Jason Morgan will be covering the topic of Mites. "My goal is to shed light on the process of taking a sample, doing a simple math formula with the number of mites you find, and determining if a hive needs treatment or not. If you take care of the mites, the bees tend to take care of the rest."

Monthly newsletters are sent out typically the Monday before the meeting. Subscribe to our newsletter for timely tips and meeting reminders from our website home page.
