OBA Tech Transfer Program

Varroa mite monitoring is EXTREMELY important to do at your apiary. Here are three easy methods you can use to monitor your varroa mite levels. Mite checking like this should be done every month so you know if you need to treat!

We understand that varroa mite monitoring is difficult and we hope that educational posts like these help! We are also excited to share that the TTP is working on a miticide tree set to release this fall! This tool will help you easily decide what treatment to use at your apiary!

Over the past several months, the TTP has been working on creating three new business courses to help beekeepers understand the business side of operating a nuc and queen rearing business!!

We wanted to thank the following people for helping us create our business courses either through editing or through providing valuable insight into queen rearing and nuc production.

Our Establishing a Queen and Nuc Production Business Manual is available for purchase! Press the link in our bio for more information. The other two courses will be available for purchase soon!

Last month Meg, one of our Technicians left the TTP. Though we are sad to see her go, we’re so excited to see where the future takes her, as we know she’ll go on to do wonderful things!

Meg had a huge impact during her time at TTP. She created our lovely brand, taught workshops, conducted research, helped develop our three new courses and manuals, ran our social media pages, and always brought the vibes up whenever she was around!

All of us from the TTP team thank you Meg for your hard work over the last two years!!

We’ve started ORHBS hygienic testing! First was Julian at Here and There Honey and Bees! Julian
