Randy Oliver will lead a hands-on class that will cover topics ranging from disease identification to queen and colony health assessment to maximizing honey production. There will be 2 classes offered, each lasting 90 minutes and mostly covering the same topics.

Randy Oliver is probably the most recognizable beekeeper in the world right now and GPCA is excited to have him back in Chicago this year.

I am putting a variety of hives at this educational apiary. I will have 1 of my homemade 8 frame insulated langstroth hives, 1 Flowhive, 1 standard langstroth double nuc resource hive, and my homemade insulated 30 frame long lang( I call it my coffin) hive. I am planning on setting up a few hives with some packages. I am going to try to get some bees over there prior to the event (maybe this weekend depending on the weather). I am planning on trying to get the double nuc resource hive going prior to the event and maybe we can do an inspection on it. Also during the event I want to set up the other hives and install bees.

The area the hives are in is very low ground. FYI don't wear footwear you don't want to get muddy.

I also have the waiver that people must sign in order to participate. Also anyone who wants to participate must wear at least a veil.

Thanks

Beau
