A participant attending a UMES Apiary Program workshop is shown how to inspect a frame from one of the beehives at UMES’ apiary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The dog days of summer are here along with the notorious heat and humidity the season brings. UMES Extension is offering a workshop July 25<\/strong> to equip beginning and improving beekeepers on the Eastern Shore with the know-how to manage their colonies through the summer nectar dearth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

University of Maryland Eastern Shore\u2019s Research, Extension and Teaching Farm is the site for the hands-on event. Participants can get strategies and tips for hive inspections and more from the university\u2019s apiary manager Stephen Goewey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeekeeping is dynamic, ever-changing with the seasons and the needs of your colony to keep bees thriving. Regular hive inspections are an important way to check on the health of your bees and respond to any signs of trouble,\u201d Goewey said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendees will suit-up as Goewey shows them how to gently inspect bee boxes to check for mites, handle defensive bees and look for early signs of robbing. He will also cover how to prepare hives for winter survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop, \u201cSummer Hive Inspections: Strategies and Tips for the Dog Days of Summer,\u201d is July 25 from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. Registration is $20 per person at www.umes.edu\/extension\/events<\/a>. Lunch is included with registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
