2009 Beekeeping Demos at Blue Heron Farm

Adam Farris & Christine Bourque, the owners of Blue Heron Farm in Grand Isle, have been kind enough to host beekeeping demos this summer with the 5 hives I have in their fields. The bees are about 1/3 of a mile walk from the parking area, and all are welcome! We ask that you please bring your own protective gear as extras are limited, and to remember that this is a working farm!

Sunday 6/14 at noon: Russ Aceto will lead us through a mite workshop - identifying evidence of mites & taking action. Raindate is 6/21

Sunday 7/19 at noon: Ross Conrad will discuss supering, honey harvesting, overwintering - and is open to our questions!

Sunday 8/23 4:30 pm: Bill Mares on honey harvesting, treating for mites, combining hives, and whatever else comes up. Beginners welcome!

Sunday 9/27  Cancelled : RAIN DATE 10/03 AT NOON!! Russ Aceto will help us prepare the hives for winter. We will also be combining hives!
