The COARC Apiary has 8 hives and you are invited to join Heike this Saturday morning to check on them. Recently one colony was requeened and two nucs made up. Are the queens accepted and laying? How are their brood patterns? What do we do if one colony has a problem? And of course there is checking for Varroa mites and thinking about the options of treatments.

“Saturday in the Apiary” is an opportunity to gather, visit, and learn more about beekeeping at OSU’s apiary in Madras. You are invited to come and discuss hive management strategies for the month and get to know other beekeepers in the OMB program and in the region. This is a casual, loosely structured event intended to provide a learning experience in a relaxed setting.
