Speaker: John Foran
Topic:  Swarming issues this spring, May/June management, and honey extraction

Each year, springtime weather ups and downs impact colonies uniquely. No two years are alike. John Foran has observations about how this spring’s weather has affected the bees, from timing to temperament. This also affects beekeepers’ management for May and June, and leading up to honey harvest time.

 

John Foran is a Certified Beekeeper. He graduated the Beekeeping Institute conducted by the University of Georgia honeybee program in Young Harris, Georgia. He is Vice President of the Paulding County Beekeeper’s Association and served as Treasurer for three years. Currently he has three bee yards managing a total of 150 colonies. This is his seventh year selling queens bees and NUC’s. He came back to Douglasville GA after retiring, with over 30 years in the USAF. His last assignment was the Command Chief for the 9th AF, US Central Command Air Force, with more than 350 aircraft and 26,000 active duty and civilian personnel worldwide. John has been affiliated with Dillard Financial Solutions Inc. since 2003. He is a licensed insurance agent and oversees the Georgia and Alabama regions.
