Just a note concerning the Beekeeping Conference in Wausau on March 18.
I enrolled in this seminar and the process was unusual for me, so I thought I’d let you know how this works. Apparently the seminar is part of the Northcentral Technical College’s Continuing Education program so registration goes through NTC.

How about this upcoming weather? The forecast is for a week of 50°F plus weather. In February. This happened the first winter I had bees. I was learning beekeeping from a book and the book said that I would need to be prepared to feed the bees 1:1 syrup in April. I didn’t have to though, because they were dead. Heads in the comb, starved. I’m a little more experienced now and know that during this warm period they will be consuming resources at a faster pace than if it was colder. I’ve been checking them every two weeks this winter and adding sugar and pollen patties as they got low, and this weekend will be especially important to do so. I don’t want to face a bunch of bee butts in April.
Dear fellow ECWBA members;
I am very pleased to announce an upcoming event. Sue Dompke, owner of Sweet Mountain Farm on Washington Island, has offered us a presentation and discussion on Russian honey bees. Sue is a Russian bee queen breeder and maintains 50+ treatment-free production hives on the island. She knows her Russians. |
