Kathy Longacre’s apiary (Edna Valley)
6440 Corral de Piedra Road (off Price Canyon)
We will inspect Kathy’s beeyard and consider Autumn management and feeding strategies. We don’t anticipate opening the hives at this time due to autumn defensiveness and predation.
The Paso Robles Golden Oak Honey and Pumpkin Festival is coming up. Planning and recruitment to make the annual event a success will also be discussed.
