The Cumberland County (Maine) Beekeepers Association will be hosting a hands-on overwintering nucs workshop June 16, 2012 in Windham, Maine (10 miles from Portland)

This workshop is designed to teach participants how to make their own summer nucs from their existing colonies. Summer nucs can be a key component to sustainable apiary management. We will teach about making and caring for summer nucs, and then demonstrate how to make the nucs. Participants then receive a divided hive body and two MP queens with which they can make their own nucs back in their home apiaries.
Looking forward to seeing you then...
