Join Tim and Shelly from BoroughBees for a short summer session on seasonal swarm supervision.

Preventing swarms is one of the most important things a responsible urban beekeeper can do, so join us for a refresher and get all your bee-procreation questions out of the way. The lecture will be followed by a practical session featuring a working hive in which some of the anti-swarming techniques discussed will be demonstrated.
