Join us for a presentation by Phil Stob on bait hives! What makes an effective, practical swarm-trap in the East Bay? How can we save our neighbors the drama of dealing with swarms? How can we easily capture swarms from our own hives? How can we get free local bees?
Phil has the answers. He's a Fremont beekeeper and 10 year ACBA member who has had exceptional success luring colonies to his traps (75 in the last four years)! Phil gives most of his swarms to local beginner beekeepers.
Social time start at 7:00, and the formal meeting begins at 7:30... but Phil will also host a friendly discussion for new beekeepers from 7:00-7:30. If you're a new beekeeper, show up early and ask your questions!
Monthly ACBA board meeting (scheduled for the third Wednesday of each month). For board members and invitees.
