It’s swarm season again and once again us beekeepers need to check our hives over the next few months to ensure the hive doesn’t swarm, let alone annoy the neighbourhood!

The image on this post shows the condition of a hive that may lead to swarming.

We’ll be holding a workshop at our club hives demonstrating methods on how to control/prevent hives from swarming.

Please meet at the carpark at the end of Ballinger Drive, off Budge st, Blenheim, 2pm on 24th September.

Please bring your beesuit but some veils will be available.
