🐝May Beekeeping 101 – Review and Discussion
Join us for this month’s Beekeeping 101 as Dr. Joe and Freddie host an open-forum Q&A session.
Bring your questions about topics we’ve already covered, as well as any new beekeeping issues you’re
facing. If you have photos related to your question (hive inspections, comb, pests, equipment, etc.),
please email them by May 10th to bastropbeekeepers@gmail.com so we can review them together
during the session.
Guest Speaker - Chris Barnes
Chris Barnes, owner of Cornerstone Honey Bees, is the founder and past president of the Brazos Valley
Beekeepers Association. He has been keeping bees for more than ten years, growing from just two
hives to over 70 and building a business that produces honey and wax products, offers hive tours, and leases hives for agricultural valuation. Chris is very involved with the Brazos Valley Bee School and plays a key role in coordinating and teaching youth beekeeping programs, mentoring many young beekeepers as they learn hive management and bee health. For our meeting, Chris will be speaking about queen bees and the re-queening process, as well as sharing his experience developing a youth beekeeping program for his association. The Bastrop County Beekeepers Association hopes to establish or help sponsor a similar youth beekeeper group as part of our ongoing educational mission.
