Making Summer Nucs To Overwinter
July 7th, 2012 12pm-2pm
The Vermont Beekeepers Association will be hosting a workshop at the Intervale in Burlington on how to produce summer nucleus colonies in preparation for overwintering them successfully.
The goal of this workshop is to provide you with the knowledge of how to create a nucleus colony, how to manage the colony throughout the summer and prepare the nuc for overwintering.
Bear Proofing Bee Hives
A recent question for Mike Palmer about protecting bee hives from bears prompted this response from VBA member Mike Lamere: "I just read the question and answer about bears and bee hives and I totally agree with you. Electric fencing is the way to go. I am the Secretary of the Vermont Bearhound Association and we have printed a booklet called Bear Proofing Bee Hives. The booklet has plans and descriptions of several electric fence setups plus tips to maximize their effectiveness. I will gladly send copies (free ) to anyone who needs help. My email is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and my phone number is 802-644-8953." Mike has also graciously provided us with a PDF of the booklet available for download here. EAS 2012 Auction Photo WinnerVBA member Paul Yanus wins our EAS 2012 Auction photo contest.
