Announcing a FREE Seminar – “Bee-Engaged: An Average Joe Beekeeper’s Guide to Installing Nucs & Packages” on Thursday Mar 11, 2021

In this FREE seminar, the Average Joe Beekeeper covers how to install your Nuc or Package in your hive this spring. This is essential knowledge for “New-Bees” and a great refresher for “Lotta-Bees” who haven’t installed bees in some time.

We’ll also talk about the need to feed you Nucs and Packages and when to add additional equipment. Last, we’ll review sources for Bees for delivery in CO this spring.

As a result of this Presentation most new beekeepers will come away with a better understanding of how to “install” their bees while more seasoned beekeepers will gain a quick refresher.

This seminar will be presented virtually via Zoom on Thursday, March 11, 2021 starting at 7pm. The presentation will last about 25 minutes with plenty of time for Questions and Answers after the presentation. 

A calendar invitation with the Zoom sign-in information will be sent once you are registered for this event.

H-Api New Year! Time to Renew Your Beekeeping Club Memberships!

With the arrival of the New Year, most Local Bee Clubs and Associations will be collecting Membership Dues for 2021. Prior to COVID, most Beeks would pay via Cash, Check or Credit Card at an In-Person Meeting. With most Beekeeping Meetings now presented virtually via Zoom or other teleconferencing platforms, Electronic Payments such as PayPal, Venmo, Zelle and other applications along with Credit Cards are are gaining traction as Club/Association renewal options during the Pandemic.
Don’t forget to renew your Memberships for 2021 so you won’t miss out on the Education, Knowledge, Networking, Virtual Socialization and Information availa from your Local Clubs and Associations. Remember “Beekeeping Is Local!”
