Greetings all ~
Patti, Mark, Paul and I enjoyed a very informative day at the Brown County Beekeeper’s Association’s Fall Seminar on Saturday, 10/15. The speakers were Dr. Meghan Milbrath from the University of Michigan (who was glad to be home in her native Wisconsin enjoying cheese and beer) and Professor (Dr.) Brad Mogen from the University of Wisconsin - River Falls. The main topics were Varroa, the Importance of Nucs and nuc overwintering techniques, and Varroa. Did I mention Varroa? We will be sharing our insights with members at the Dec. 3 meeting, but I thought I’d share some of the timelier takeaways now because they apply to production hives as well as nucs when it comes to overwintering.
