Join club vice president and bee charmer Sung Lee for a free session about managing varroa mites at the club apiary!

Sung has over 80 hives himself, and also manages many clients’ hives. He’ll demonstrate both methods of checking for mites (the sugar roll and the alcohol wash), and he’ll explain how to treat for mites -- both reactively with various treatments when the count is high, and continually as part of an Integrated Pest Management system.

Join experienced club member Greg Mau for a free hands-on activity at the club apiary! Everyone is welcome, regardless of beekeeping ability. You'll see how other people handle bees, and handle them yourself, gaining experience and confidence. Bring your questions about your hive, too!
