Field sessions

I will be offering the last formal field session this coming Saturday April 28–from 10 am ’til noon.  Location–at my home at 14744 Meadow Dr., GV.

Please bring a veil, smoker, and hive tool if you have them.

 I strongly encourage everyone to work without gloves.  You are welcome to wear coveralls and boots, but light-colored, long-sleeve cotton work clothing is fine (two layers of clothing will stop bee stings).  Tuck all shirts into your waistband.  Shoes (as opposed to sandals) and cotton socks are recommended (don not wear dark socks).  Please do not wear black or red clothing, wool or felt, wristwatches, or dark glasses.  Bring your reading glasses!

Nucs will be available for sale at the classes.  Please see http://scientificbeekeeping.com/nuc-pickup-instructions/ for details, and check your handout for map and more details.

I’m buried in bee work this time of season, so please do not call or email me with questions unless necessary.

You are also welcome to call any morning between 7am and 9am to see if you can join in with commercial bee work. This is a great time of season to do so, since we will be going through many nucs each day. 277 4450 Please do not call later in the day than that.
