This presentation is one of the lessons created for the Managed Mentoring Program. As a general practice, this will likely benefit all beekeepers so I had the notion that it would be beneficial to share to the podcast audience.
The agenda in the lesson
- WONKY COMB: What is it?
- WHAT CAUSES IT: A list of potential reasons that result in improper build out of honeycomb
