7:30-8:30 | Mad Honey Presentation by Debra Langley-Boyer What is an AZ Slovenian Hive? Basically, it is a bee hive that opens like a cupboard from the back. It is usually inside a bee house where you work. The bees come and go from outside. Europe has been using this style of hive for over a hundred years. More people are using the AZ hive in the USA. It is great for all our rain and not lifting. |
8:30-9:00 | Tea Time/Closing |
