This past week, Rough and Ready Grange hosted a Beekeeping Seminar. Dan Wheat of the Nevada Co Beekeeper Assoc and (A to Z Hardware) squeezed a seven hour introduction into 45 minutes; complete with photos of anatomy, diseases and a bee house. He told us for both commercial and personal use, what behaviors to expect from "happy bees".
A young man from the ridge area, Neal Sullivan presented his adventures in beekeeping and spoke more to the native "permaculture" and environmental factors effecting bees. Both speakers gave different slants on how to care for bees, what to watch for, how to develop and enlarge your hives. Absolutely fascinating stuff. Stay tuned for more to come from Rough and Ready Grange.
