We will be opening our hives, in which we have confirmed the presence of Varroa. This practical session will be limited to 20 participants, so registrations are essential.

Hive Inspections (Latrobe Valley Beekeepers Association Members Only) will include:

  • Alcohol wash
  • Hive health inspection
  • Feeding the bees
  • Treatment options and application
  • And more

Please bring your own freshly laundered bee suit and gloves if attending the hive inspections.

We will also be holding a working bee to help prepare the grounds for the market the following day, and we would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Come for an hour or stay for the whole time.
