The NC State University Apiculture Program will hold monthly Hive Chats on the last Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. These beekeeping webinars will feature expert presenters and also allow participants to engage by asking questions.

To maintain consistency, all attendees will participate through live streaming on the NC State Apiculture YouTube channel. You will still be able to use the comment function to post questions, and moderators will screen and pose relevant points for discussion.

The first Hive Chat of 2021 is TONIGHT, January 27. These are the topics and speakers:

• Bees in Season (what your bees are doing right now, and what you should do as a beekeeper)
• Timely Topic: Checking your hives during winter  – Jennifer Keller, NC State University
• Interview: Don Hopkins, NC State Apiarist, N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
• Open Q&A session
