The point has been made before that beekeepers should modify their practices now that hive beetles are here. When doing any major hive manipulations like this, or making up nuclei hives, here are some suggested dos (and don’ts).
Our apiary is full of working examples that different beekeeping methods are rewarding, each in its own way. For close to two decades our Langstroth Hives made and run by Anthony have given the club great service and now we have a new arrival in our apiary. Hand made by Torsten, the Warré Hive moved in on Saturday 18th February. It has a home now next to the Flow Hive (organised by Miskell) in line with the Top-Bar Hive built and on loan by Maher.
This is beekeepers hard at work making MBAI the centre for beekeeping in Macarthur. Great work!
Members and friends, due to the conflict with Australia Day and many members having travel plans we regret that the January 2017 meeting has been cancelled.
In the meantime we are working hard to put together a bumper meeting for February 23rd 2017; please save the date!
