Weekly Hive Dive
Every Saturday morning at 10:00 AM, a few of us will meet to conduct maintenance on the hives and provide educational opportunities for those wishing to learn more.
These are informal but essential activities. We will perform various tasks each week on half of our hive inventory. Odd numbered hives one week, then even numbered hives the next week, and so on for the season.
We are looking for leaders that would volunteer to lead one or more of these sessions. A few of us are already tasked with a lot of activities and would like to share the opportunity with some of you more seasoned beekeepers. Even if you only led one session every now and then, it would help.
I have set these up so you can RSVP by ticket type. 1. Leader, 2. Participant, and 3. Observer.
