UNL Bee Lab

Don't forget tomorrow is our Open Apiary at Kimmel Orchard in Nebraska City.

Walk ups are welcome, however registering in advance helps us plan ahead! Please register using this link: https://ssp.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b8e2FWSmki12imW

Open apiaries are an excellent opportunity for both new/prospective beekeepers and current beekeepers. Although though they have a monthly seasonally relevant topic to beekeeping they generally follow, they are typically very customizable to attendees. New/prospective beekeepers can get introduced to the hive and beekeeping and current beekeepers can get individualized questions answered and discuss scenarios that are currently happening in their personal apiaries.

Open apiaries are free for Great Plains Master Beekeeping (GPMB) (a free organization to join) members or are $10 for non-members. Please bring exact cash or check (payable to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln) to the event. Join GPMB today at the link in our bio.

We hope to see you there!

***Update, thank you all so much we have received a lot of interest from Kansas and are no longer in need of any more beekeepers for this years APHIS program. If you would like to be considered for 1st priority next year you are welcome to fill in the interest form, but as of 6pm on 05/20 we have enough folks!***

Alrighty folks we are so close to having all of our beekeepers lined up in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, however we need just a few more folks in KANSAS to sign up.

If you know of any beekeepers with 10 or more hives in a single apiary that are interested in participating in the APHIS Honey Bee Health Survey please have them fill in the link below. The survey is completely free of charge and all results are kept anonymous and only shared with you after testing has been completed. This is a great way to better understand what is going on in your hive that you might not be able to see.
