It was a great trip and the BBQ in Rogersville at the apiary was fantastic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cBank 790 Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Those hive mats and lids look nice. I’m finding thick mats to be way better and those are very thick. @Trevor Gillbanks was there anything bee related that you came away with that you’ll be adopting here? Your list of visit locations looks excellent, you covered some ground. Edited September 6, 2018 by cBank 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Gillbanks 6,670 Posted September 6, 2018 Yes. It was a great trip. 1 sure tip that I use all the time now whenever I visit an apiary is to beat the grass around the hives and make a lot of noise to scare away the snake. So far it has worked a treat and I have not seen any snakes around my hives. 1 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Gillbanks 6,670 Posted September 6, 2018 I have found that beekeeping in USA and Australia and New Zealand are all pretty much the same. Bees still sting. Bees live Bees die Bees make honey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was fantastic fun and I met some wonderful people. Some of them were also beekeepers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
