Splitting Colonies Within Your Own Apiary

Splitting Colonies Within Your Own Apiary

with

Ashby Miller

Welcome back everyone!  We hope your holidays were filled with good memories.  Now is the perfect time for this topic, Splitting Colonies in Your Own Apiary.  Planning is key.  Is your colony large enough to split?  Do they have enough resources?  Even better, you'll get to look forward to NOT having to buy bees!  Our speaker this month is Ashby Miller with Ashby Farms.  Come enjoy some comfort food & beekeeper fellowship.   If you plan to eat, so we can make sure there is enough for everyone, please sign up for Dinner here!

Ashby Miller & his wife, Cori, started Ashby Farms in 2017 in/around Burlington NC. In 2020, we switched our focus to honey bees.  We have about 500 colonies in 15 Apiaries within 20 miles of Burlington in all directions. Our Bee Business is fairly diversified, as we produce/provide: Nucs, Queens, VSH breeder queens, Local honey, Sourwood honey, and pollination. We are huge proponents of Local genetics and queens! You can follow along on our journey with week-to-week updates on YouTube and Facebook, under the AshbyFarmsNC handle.  He looks forward to speaking to the club and meeting many new faces!!!
