Mite Check- July 13th 2:30-4:00pm

July 13th 2:30-4:00pm, join our 1.5 hour 'Mite Check' workshop all about the Varroa Mite! 

The Varroa Destructor or commonly referred to as the varroa mite or just mite is a pest that, as a beekeeper, you will encounter in your beekeeping journey. It is a parasite, meaning it needs a host to survive and unfortunately for our honeybees, the varroa mite’s entire lifecycle revolves around them.

In our workshop we will cover:

1. What is the varroa mite.
2. What are signs of mite infestation.
3. How to test for mites (sugar shake & alcohol wash).
4. When to treat for mites.
5. Breakdown of available treatments and how to know which treatment to use and when.

This will be a hands on workshop so bring protective gear (veils, beekeeping jackets/suits, gloves)!

Cancellation Policy: Free cancellation up to 3 days prior to the course date. Non-refundable within the 3 day window.
