Varroa Management, Swarm Signs, and Top Bar Hive Inspection Workshop

This workshop starts with techniques for measuring and treating varroa mite infections using Langstroth hives as an example. The daytime high temperatures at the time of year limit our treatment methods, and so we will discuss available options. Reproductive swarms can begin this time of year in overwintered colonies, so while we inspect, we will identify early signs.
In this workshop, we'll also demonstrate how the top bar hive is constructed and used in contrast to the standard Langstroth hive. We will present several advantages of the top bar hive, such as: no heavy lifting, easy working of combs, easy hive inspections, and issues with honey harvesting and pest control.
