About the event

Monday, September 21, 7-8 p.m. BVABA Zoom meeting with Dwight Wells

DWIGHT WELLS

Started keeping bees in 1954 at age 14 as a Penn State 4H Project. Dwight is a Life Member and Board Director of Ohio State Beekeepers Association (OSBA) Life Member of Beekeepers of Indiana and Life Member of Pennsylvania Beekeepers Association. Dwight currently is a regional director of the “Top of Ohio” region (western OH) of the Ohio State Beekeepers Association.

Dwight’s passion is promoting Sustainable Beekeeping, which creates low over-wintering losses, mentoring and educating beekeepers. He is currently working on several projects with Purdue University, Penn State University, Central State University and Kentucky State University on Feral Honey Bees.

Dwight will address some topics related to this time of the year: nutrition in dearth, mite treatments in heat, also what you might need to be doing now to prepare those bees for winter.  Dwight always stresses the need for raising a local bee population with local queens and splits so he will be mentioning this as well as sharing some insights of his work with feral bee colonies.

Since 1978, we have been active in efforts to educate local beekeepers and provide a forum where new developments in beekeeping can be discussed.  We are active in promoting knowledge of the tremendous benefits we, as a society, derive from the humble honey bee.
