EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Why do experts give conflicting answers to the same beekeeping questions? Usually it's because there is more than one right answer! Colony management requires different solutions depending on your goals and philosophies.
MCBA has invited 3 successful, local beekeeping experts to answer your questions on managing bees from early to mid-season. Each panelist brings a different perspective, shaped by their extensive experiences and training. So send your questions in advance, and be ready with pen and paper for insightful answers.
Submit questions before Wed, 3/31/21
