Splitting hives is a fun and easy way to expand your apiary and prevent spring swarming.

Join Jennifer Berry at the Woolly Egg Ranch for this hive splitting workshop, where she will demonstrate several basic hive splitting techniques; including walk-away splits, introducing queen cells to splits and placing mated queens into nucleus colonies.

Jennifer will be demonstrating live, with open hives, so come prepared in your light-colored clothes and bring the protective gear that makes you feel comfortable.

Please note: this is a working farm, so your common sense is appreciated. Please come prepared to be near open hives- no black, red or dark brown clothing, and bring the protective beekeeping gear of your choice.
