Ohio State Beekeepers Assoc. Summer Conference @ Talawanda High School

Ohio State Beekeepers Association is holding their Summer Conference on June 6/7 in Oxford Ohio—The Birthplace of Modern Beekeeper.

We are excited about the wide selection of sessions.  Of special interest to not only beekeepers, but also master gardeners are the sessions by Denise Ellsworth (Integrated Pest Management, Bee Identification) and Dr. Chia-Hua Lin, postdoctoral associate at OSU Beelab (Identifying Pollen Sources used by Honey Bees in Central Ohio’s Agricultural Landscape).

Gardeners are the nutritionists for all pollinators.
