Beekeeping At Five Apple Farm Podcast

Today I share some great tips shared by Greg Rogers of Haw Creek Honey when he presented to our local club. Then we work through swarm prevention strategies (starts at 16:25) that are especially important when it's too early in the season to make splits due to drone availability. Patrons, you will find your exclusive detailed show notes here. Today's notes include: Greg's favorite YouTube channels links about the Demaree method (that AI gets so wrong!) image of how to tip a box up to look for swarm cells a how-to section on opening the broodnest (or spreading the brood as Greg calls it) a link to my master handout of favorite SPLITS METHODS that I give to bee clubs when I present on that topic ENJOY!
