This month Reuben Chen is presenting on Single Deep Brood Chamber Management. Unlike the majority of Langstroth hive beekeepers in the US, Reuben has found using single-deep chambers for his brood to be very effective and no less productive than double deep brood chambers.
join us and learn how Reuben consistently overwinters healthy hives and harvest heaps of honey (t)his way. This talk will be educational and informative for new and experienced beekeepers… and maybe even controversial (but probably not as controversial as screened bottom boards- according to Reuben). This approach can offer several benefits, however, it requires careful management of resources. But don't worry! Reuben will walk you through it, and you'll see how you can make more honey and spend less money!
The Annual Honey Tasting will be held Tuesday, August 26 at 7 PM in place of the monthly General Meeting that month at The Point & Pavilion Facility at CC Young.
