Nowton Apiary Meeting “Spring cleaning your hive and checking for disease” Sunday, 24th at 1400
This Sunday, 24th at 1400 weather permitting we are looking at Spring cleaning your hive and checking for disease as a theme.
For – members with bees or beginners
Why – After the winter when the weather is warm enough to allow full inspections is an ideal time to spring clean the hive, clean debris from the floor, clean propolis from the frames and brood box and sterilise the equipment. All subsequent inspections will easer for you and easier on the bees. This is also an ideal time to check for brood diseases and identify combs for replacement.
