At our May meeting on May 18, 2026 we will have a guest presentation:

Swarm Prevention and Hive Splitting

Emily Mueller will discuss swarm prevention and hive splittings. This session will cover practical techniques to help beekeepers manage colony growth, reduce the risk of swarming, and maintain strong, productive hives. Participants will learn how to recognize early signs of swarming behavior, when and how to split a hive effectively, and best practices for supporting colony health throughout the process.
