UPDATE: FIELD DAY IS FULL
We will be having a joint field day with Lane County Beekeepers Association and Linn-Benton Beekeepers Association on Saturday, June 3rd from 10:00-2:30 at the OSU Apiary located at the Oak Creek Center for Urban Horticulture. The address is 844 SW 35th St in Corvallis. Please follow the signs for parking across the street from the apiary. Check-in starts at 9:00 am.
Space is limited because of the number of hives available for inspection, so sign up early to get one of the spaces.
UPDATE: FIELD DAY IS FULL. (Sorry)
In the morning we will have multiple talks that you can choose from and we will rotate through them. We will then take a short lunch break (lunch boxes available for purchase when you sign up). After the lunch break, we will split into groups and get into the hives at the apiary. You will be led by an experienced beekeeper, who will show you the things you should be looking for while inspecting your hives. Experienced beekeepers attending will be getting into hives that are having issues.
To attend, each person will be required to sign an OSU Waiver and Assumption of Risks Agreement OSU OSBA 2017. Please print it out, sign it and bring it the day of the event.
Things to bring: Veil, jacket or suit, gloves and a lawn chair.
