        Its the end of February, and Spring is anxiously moving in after our non-existent winter.  After performing spring maintenance on the hives, one of the hives is already packed full of 1 1/2 boxes of bees and brood with several drone cell ready to hatch soon!?  They are bringing in loads of yellow and pale cream colored pollen, and are acting like it is the end of April as opposed to the end February.  It is an early spring for beekeepers in the Inland northwest which means time to train new beekeepers, and time to start feeding the bees.  

For novice beekeepers, the newly retooled apprentice beekeeping class will start in March and will provide guidance throughout the beekeepers first honey season.  The IEBA is excited to welcome the 95 new beekeepers to the 2010 Basic Beekeeping Course.  At this time, registration for the course is CLOSED and the classes are FULL.  To learn more about the exciting education offerings of the IEBA, visit the education link on your left.

If you have just found the IEBA and are looking for information on beekeeping in the northwest, join us at one of the meetings to get the latest local apiary news, straight from the beekeepers mouth.
