Making Splits and Nucs-the Next Step Up in Beekeeping

A live, interactive, virtual course

Saturday April 3, 2021 9:00AM-3:30PM

Knowing how and when to make splits and nucs is critical for sustainable beekeeping.  If you can over-winter a colony of honey bees and want to optimize your success as a beekeeper, you need to understand how to successfully make splits and nucs. Why?

• ·       To save money, time, and your hard work by reducing swarming 
• ·       To make up for winter losses; to create a spare colony for when it’s needed
• ·       To hold onto your extra special queen
• ·       To have a queen on hand if you accidentally crush the one you love
• ·       To use swarm cells to your advantage
• ·       To improve your apiary with queen cells grafted from select genetic stock
