Are you and your bees ready for winter?

Join us Saturday September 19th from 1:00pm - 3:00pm for a fun, informative and interactive workshop at Urban Bee Supplies 🐝

This workshop will help you perform your final assessment of your colonies, provide a realistic view of your available options, and equip you with strategies to best support your colony or colonies going into winter.

Colonies still weak or struggling this late in the year? In this workshop we will discuss last minute "S-O-S" beekeeping to help your bees!

Remove bees from honey supers easily with bee escapes.
Placed in between the honey supers and brood chambers, the bees will find their way down through the maze and be unable to get back up.

Our hands in the hives mentorship program doesn’t only give you hands on beekeeping practice in our apiary. It also allows you to experience the temperament and growth of hives from some of the queens we sell.
Here we are pictured with an overwintered colony from a Queen that came out of winter very well. The Queen and colony went through a full dose formic acid treatment from in April, then another single pad in June. That didn’t set them back from growing to heights beyond some’s ability to lift. The colony has a nice temperament a strong population, abundant foragers and good honey stores.

Great class last Saturday checking on the Chilean packages that were installed on March 26th.

The bees have built up nicely and are storing nectar and producing honey. We will continue to manage these ones in 6 frame deep sized equipment for the season.
