May 30, 2023 Ep. 22 - How We Split Our Hives
We are talking all about how we make splits while sipping on our newest collaboration beer from Threes Brewing in NYC. The beer name is 'Little Did We Know' and that sure sums up our lives as beekeepers! We have had a ton of success growing our apiary without buying bees for years using this split method and hope you can all learn from our experiences. As always this podcast is brought to you by Kara Jo Skin Care and Bee Farm. Check us out at KaraJoSkinCare.com. Cheers!
