We will look at 2 different types of small honey extractors and a solar wax melter.  We will build and wire a few frames and install foundation.  We will assemble a hive body.  We will do an autopsy of sorts on a couple of hives.

 

Check the Person County Site for a run down of what we did at a similar workshop last year.

 

I do need to get the word out to our experienced OCBA members.  It is their sharing of experiences and tips/tricks that makes these workshops click.

Just looked at the map and it is a “fer piece” to the shop in Cedar Grove from where I live. Has anyone seen an agenda of sorts regarding what will be covered?  Or perhaps an instructor could give an overview.  I’m just weighing potential benefits of the trip against what I already know from the textbook, Tuesday’s lecture, youtube, etc.  ‘Global Heating’ is not some vague concept anymore and at some point I need to get out of cars.  That said, beekeeping is obviously very important for our future.

 Thanks, in advance!
