SUMMARY:Summer Ready: Setting Goals\, Working Splits\, and Staying Ahead of the Bees
DESCRIPTION:Spring is winding down and summer is just around the corner — which means your bees are thinking about one thing: expansion. Are you ready to keep up with them? \n\n\n\nThis month\, we’re welcoming guest speaker Karla\, who will help us shift our beekeeping mindset from survival mode to strategy. As colonies hit their peak\, the decisions you make right now will shape your whole season. Whether you’re chasing a honey harvest\, looking to grow your apiary through splits\, or just trying to keep your hives healthy and calm\, Karla will walk us through how to think it all through. \n\n\n\nShe’ll cover: \n\n\n\n\nHow to re-evaluate your beekeeping goals heading into summer — and why it matters to have a plan\n\n\n\nThe honey-or-splits question: how to decide what your hive (and you) actually need\n\n\n\nGetting ahead of Varroa before mite loads climb and your options shrink\n\n\n\nCheckerboarding as a swarm management and honey production tool\n\n\n\nHow to read your frames to know exactly what’s going on inside the hive\n\n\n\n\nWhether you’re heading into your first summer or your fifteenth\, there’s something here for every beekeeper.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParking Instructions \n\n\n\nParking inside El Rio Mobile Home Park is prohibited. \n\n\n\n\nMetered street parking is available.\n\n\n\nUse the Lenz Arts lot\, but avoid the ivy wall/gate with “no parking” signs for after-hours staff access.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVolunteer-Run\, Community-Funded\, No Dues Required | Your Donations Keep Us Buzzing
