Dealing with Deadouts – PA

This talk was presented for the Pennsylvania State Beekeepers Conference, November 8th, in State College Pennsylvania.

No beekeeper wishes to deal with the burdens of a colony that has perished.

In this presentation we review
– How to prepare and conduct a hive necropsy (aka autopsy)
– What factors to consider while performing your review
– A guided set of instructions for getting the most information out of your deep dive
– Tips that can garnered to help you avoid colony demise in the future
– How to recover the equipment and put it back into service
