I contributed my design skills (in the flyer below) to help promote the free Backwards Beekeeping event coming up on July 9 and 10 in Brooklyn. This is going to be such a neat weekend of lectures, conversations, and of course, hands-on beekeeping for all! No need to register or buy tickets, just drop in to learn about bees for one day or all weekend.

Yay! Well, it's not chickens, but I think bees are just as much fun! As we've only just verutned into beekeeping it will be fun to compare notes. Was Varroa destructor an issue the last time you kept bees? I expect that might have only just been rearing its ugly head at that point. We've already seen a phoretic mite on one of our worker bees. Nasty little parasites.
