COBKA September Meeting: THAT DIDN’T WORK!

Didn’t the bees hear the game plan?

Inspired by the Beekeeping Today Podcast, our September COBKA meeting will be devoted to the plans, clever ideas, strategies, and experiments that…just didn’t work.

Tell one of your own beekeeping bloopers - whether you’re a beginner or have been keeping bees for years. Share your updated strategy or defer to the panel of experts. Everyone who shares will have 2 minutes to tell us what they tried and what actually happened.  

An example from Muffy:

"Diligently, I applied a DIY sticky board to get a feel for my varroa infestation. Gal darn it, the bees rifled through it! They ate a significant portion of my Bristol board and chucked it out of the hive. No varroa trend shown to me! So…what strategy should I try next time?"

Bring your successes-in-disguise, your “what were they thinking?” moments, and the things you definitely won’t be trying again. We’ll laugh at ourselves, learn from one another, and remember that none of us are immune to fumbling.
