The Brown County Beekeepers Association will meet on August 10, at the Rhonemus Hall located on the Brown County Fairgrounds in Georgetown, Ohio. At 6:00 PM, club members will be available to answer questions and share information on beekeeping. The educational program will begin at
7:00 PM, followed by our business meeting.
The educational program will be, ” Horizontal Hive Beekeeping Utilizing Langstroth Deep Frames”.
Have you ever considered beekeeping but was discouraged by the high cost of equipment or lacking the ability to life heavy weights? Horizontal hive beekeeping may be appropriate for your budget and physical ability.
Once established, the heaviest weight you will lift will be an eight pound frame of honey. The hive itself can be easily constructed out of basic building materials and once constructed, can be placed on a stand that minimizes bending or lifting. Because of it’s design, it is sometimes referred to as a ” coffin hive” due to its similarity of a casket.
Honey bees can be kept in a variety of ways, and this is just one of them. All meetings are free and open to the public, so please join us and learn more about the pros and cons of keeping bees in a
Horizontal Bee Hive.
