Doing outreach today at the Franciscan Monastery Garden Guild plant sale!

Activate Nematodes!!!!
In addition to indica and riobrave (eat SHB larvae), this year we added carpocapacae. These little superheroes eat tick larvae.
Thanks to our new incubator at the lab I'm getting a jump on the season. As soon as weather permits we will be inoculating all apiary sites.

I picked up this sucker today in the apiary. It's the middle of February!

Winter Aconite is wonderful winter bee forage.
