The Chatham County Center of North Carolina Cooperative Extension will offer a workshop on Honey Bee Nutrition from 7:00-9:00 pm on Wednesday November 7 in the auditorium of the Agriculture Building in Pittsboro. Winter starvation is believed to be one of the primary factors that causes honey bee colony loss in North Carolina. It's important for beekeepers to understand what bees need and how to provide for those needs. The program will be presented by NCDA Apiary Inspector Nancy Ruppert and NC Cooperative Extension Agent Debbie Roos.

Agenda:

What Do Honey Bees Need and Why? (carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, water, etc.) 
Nancy Ruppert, NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Sciences

Impact of Poor Nutrition on Honey Bee Health
Nancy Ruppert

How Can We Help Bees Acquire What They Need? 
Nancy Ruppert

Increase Floral Diversity to Benefit Honey Bees
Debbie Roos, North Carolina Cooperative Extension

Advance registration is required by November 5. The cost of the workshop is $10 and includes a CD of resources.
