Discover the secrets of queen bee grafting at the September 14th SEMBA meeting.  Jerry Fabian will demonstrate his technique and discuss equipment needed.  In addition, you’ll be able to watch him at work in his apiary and bee house through a PowerPoint presentation.  ….This should give you enough time to get everything you need and also experiment with grafting before spring.  As with everything in beekeeping -  bee prepared.

Plus, get your handout of “What to do in September” - the suggestions from U of M, Bee Squad. 

NewBees session starts at 6:30.  Queen Grafting will start around 7:00.
