March Presentation Topic: Swarms, Swarming & Swarm Management
We continue last month's conversation on honey bee reproduction, (which focused on beekeeper management) and take a deep dive into understanding the bees' impulse to swarm and create a new hive. Just how a beekeeper can pursue swarms and practice swarm management will be discussed by Ryan Giesecke, past-President of TVBA and a Master Beekeeper. Join us and learn the 'why, 'when and 'what-for of honey bee swarming, including biology, behavior and beekeeper best practices.

WE KNOW BEES!
EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO OUR MEETINGS.
Established in 1969, Trinity Valley Beekeepers Association has served beekeepers and nature enthusiasts for 55 years! A 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization, TVBA’s goal is to educate the our membership and the public on subjects related to bees, beekeeping practices, state and local laws or ordinances that regulate beekeeping and products of the hives. We strive to provide both liaison to and coordination with governmental agencies with programs and activities affecting beekeeping. Our members are from Dallas and the surrounding areas of North and East Texas and beyond. All are welcome at every meeting or event!
TVBA hosts Monthly Educational Meetings with various topics of interest relevant to both the seasoned beekeeper as well as the beginner beekeeper or simply any bee-lover. Each meeting includes a Speaker Presentation, an optional Beginner Beekeeping Class, Seasonal Content and of course- fun and fellowship with like-minded people.
Join our E-Mail Newsletter for monthly reminders and to hear about Seasonal Events such as workshops, apiary visits and other honey bee-related activities in the North Texas community.
