Meeting Recordings
Recordings from our monthly meetings and guest speakers.
April 2021:
Speaker: Daniel Schoenthal
Topic: Daniel runs Blue Green Horizons, a Honeybee Rescue in Northern California. They specialize in complicated bee removals such as cut outs and trap outs, along with feral swarm collection. Daniel is also active on Facebook answering beekeepers’ questions openly, giving tips and helpful advice. He can be found on facebook group “Beekeeping Hacks” where he’s an admin, and I see him on beekeeping techniques quite often.
June 2021
Speaker: Dr. Samuel Ramsey
Topic: His award-winning research on Varroa biology has changed the standing paradigm on how this parasite ultimately kills honey bees. His current work, aptly named the Fight the Mite Initiative, was funded largely by the beekeeping community. It focuses on the poorly understood Tropilaelaps mite which is rapidly establishing itself as the next threat to apiculture globally.
