SUNY Potsdam WISER Center Honey Bees: Making Nucs!

Lehman Park 6537 NY-56, Potsdam, NY, United States

B.M. Dooney Farms will be helping the new WISER Center Summer Beekeeping Interns learn how to make their first colony nucs! Nuc bees are already socialized to one another (coming originally from the same hive) and inherit frames of honey stores and brood from the parent colony.
This is a free event open to the public to come observe how a colony is divided each spring.
