Monday, January 16th, 7pm
Speaker: Kathleen Bourne
Topic: Going Long -- Your Bees, Your Back, and Your Bottom Line (exploring horizontal hives)
As a hobby beekeeper, Kathleen manages 10-20 colonies and builds her hives in an assortment of styles on her farm in Hart County Georgia. Her hives range from Langstroth and Warres to horizontal hives (Top Bar, Layens and Long Langstroth). Kathleen also builds observation hives.
Kathleen is as passionate about keeping bees as she is about serving the beekeeping community and was voted the 2021 Georgia Beekeepers Association (GBA) Beekeeper of the Year. She is past-president and treasurer of Lake Hartwell Beekeepers Association and serves as the Georgia Beekeepers Association Newsletter co-editor. Her presentation will cover the design and management of top bar, long Langstroth, and Layens hives.
