Bee Talks Recap | September 2025

On this episode of Bee Talks, we discuss small hive beetles, mowing’s impact on pollinators, and salvaging wax moth-damaged frames. Don’t forget to register your hives!

Q&A and Discussion Time

Each session starts with an open question & answer period followed by a seasonally-appropriate topic discussion to help guide you through the beekeeping year. Open to every beekeeper regardless of experience or the type of equipment you use, these sessions will support your beekeeping practice and help you get the critical information you need to be successful.
