This class will prepare you for what to expect to see in your hive in early spring (February/March).
In this class, you will learn:
What the bees are focused on in February/March, so you can work with their natural instincts.
How the weather (amount of rain, cold, and sun) helps and hinders the bees, so you can be prepared for any kind of weather
Swarm prevention basics (the Swarm Prevention class goes into more detail)
Spring mite management
How and when to get wax drawn-out
When to harvest honey
Stay tuned for a Late Spring Management (April/May) class that will happen late March!

Instructor: Jennifer Radtke has been keeping bees in her backyard for 20+ years, and has developed the beekeeping education program at the BioFuel Oasis. She's kept up with her bees’ growth in early spring and split her hives every year around April 1st (& sometimes a second time at the end of May). Her bees have only swarmed once in 10+ years.
