April 22 - NVBA Meeting - Can you do Splits? - the bee kind not gymnastics!

  • 22 Apr 2025
  • 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Join NVBA as we take a look at 4 different types of splits and the honey bee biology that makes them work. We will review:

  • Walk away splits (or The I am going on vacation- what do I do with my bees? - split)
  • the Doolittle or reverse hive spilt (a little more work – but better results)
  • The Demaree (De’ mar ee) or vertical split (more work but no increase in hive numbers)
  • The emergency swarm split (uh oh!! I have queen cells!)
  • and for extra credit - The Rose Hive method – not really a split but a manipulation to manage swarming

April 22th

6:30 PM Open Question Time

7:00 PM Speaker

This will be an online Zoom meeting.
