The Chatham County Center of North Carolina Cooperative Extension will offer a beekeeping workshop as part of its Enhancing Sustainability Series on Monday, June 1, 2015 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. in the auditorium of the Agriculture Building in Pittsboro. The workshop will focus on Managing Varroa Mites & Small Hive Beetles in Honey Bee Hives. These pests can cause significant damage to honey bees and severely weaken a colony if not kept under control. The program will be presented by NCDA Apiary Inspector Nancy Ruppert.

Nancy will discuss life cycles for each pest and the damage they can inflict and go into depth on management techniques to minimize destruction. Case studies will be used to practice applying the information in a practical manner.

Visit the workshop section of the Growing Small Farms website for a detailed agenda and to download a registration form. Deadline to register is May 27!
