Bees: Swarming and Propagation with Shane “Bee Charmer” Lee

Step by step class, on how to propagate (turn one hive into two). And, Shane will describe what swarming is and why it is necessary to allow for this.

Facilitator bio: Shane “bee charmer” Lee has always had a special connection with bees as long as he can remember. His deep connection began in Arizona with the African “killer” bee. Hearing of colony collapse disorder prompted the charming to begin. As he came to understand all that bees are responsible for, he started a non-profit, The Gentle Hive Foundation.
