Beekeeping 102 class is tomorrow.
I had to convert the slideshow to a pdf and watermark every page to appease one of our instructors who was convinced a student was going to steal it wholesale and then teach their own class
On the agenda is:
Inspections through the first 8 weeks
Hive health (Nutrition, Diseases, parasites, predators and pests)
Mite control
Smoker management
Live demonstration outside on smokers and we will have an inspection at our two teaching hives on site - possible sugar roll if time
Dearth, Flow
Normal beehavior
Swarming
Re-queening
Combining a hive
Harvesting
Wintering
