Thursday, August 17, 2017 from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm ET.
In this webinar we will review the signs of health and illness in relation to the contractive gesture of the honeybee organism at this time of year—an understanding which gives rise to methods for the best possible overwintering success. We will take a closer look at how to consolidate hive-space and resources, as well as methods of feeding, wrapping, care of illnesses, and other overwintering considerations. This webinar will also touch on the seasonal tasks from August to April.
