Jennifer Radtke: All About Robbing

Zoom presentation: Click to join meeting

Jennifer Radtke is a co-founder of BioFuel Oasis with over 18 years of beekeeping experience. She’s been teaching beekeeping classes for 13 years, and has published several articles in the American Bee Journal. She’s also a former Vice President of the ACBA and the author of a book on Bay Area beekeeping.

In this live presentation via Zoom, she will offer practical tips on how to prevent hive robbing as the summer dearth approaches. You’ll learn about robbing screens, entrance reducers, and why you shouldn’t “open feed” honey cappings to your bees! She’ll also answer any questions you have.
