TBKA held a Swarm Management workshop on Saturday 15th July.
Fifteen participants attended a two-hour information session. Colin Barber, our Pest and Diseases Officer, talked about approaches to prevent swarming, why colonies swarm, when and what to look out for, how to deal with swarm cells, and briefly touched on how to perform an artificial swarm, treatment of a colony, and purchasing locally adapted and not imported queens.
It was a friendly and helpful session.
TBKA extends its thanks to Colin and the participants for creating a supportive and interesting workshop.
