I am hoping that other experienced beekeepers will participate as well.  There are many different methods out there and I hope that this will be a jumping off point for some good discussion.  One of my favorite things about these workshops that we do is the great interaction between the experienced folks and the new folks.  Come out if you are able.  There will be plenty of opportunity to gain knowledge and share knowledge.

We will be hosting a workshop this Saturday on making splits. Lewis Cauble will demonstrate several methods of splitting hives. He will cover splitting using mated queens, using queen cells, and using eggs. Lewis will also show us how to recombine the splits if there is a problem. If you are interested in learning how to increase your hives this will be a valuable workshop.

We will also be offering certified practical tests for those who have already passed the written test.  Space may be limited for the certified practicals depending on the number of participants and folks available to administer the tests.  There will be other opportunities to take the test in the near future.

The workshop begins a 10am, this Saturday, May 7th at the Colonel William H. Breeze Family Farm, 4909 Walnut Grove Church Rd., Hurdle Mills, NC, 27541. The hives are across the road from the actual farm.

We will be working in the hives so a veil is recommended. If you are planning to take the certified practical exam you will need your veil, smoker, and hive tool.

We hope to see you there.
