Monthly Educational Meeting​​
​Always free and open to the public!

Location: Auditorium at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens  (1800 N Dixboro Rd, Ann Arbor) & Online on Zoom
​​Date: Tue, October 10, 2023
 Time: 7:00 pm EST
Topic: Dealing with Deadouts

Dead outs are an unfortunate part of beekeeping.  In this talk we will discuss how to clean up a deadout, and how to
make decisions on what to do with used equipment.  This talk is a mix of science (what we know about disease risk)
and management (how do we deal with disease risk in the real world).
Speaker: Dr. Meghan Milbrath is  assistant professor in the Department of Entomology at MSU, where she does honey bee and pollinator research and extension, and is the coordinator of the Michigan Pollinator Initiative. See our blog to learn more.
The main presentation starts at 7 pm, but feel free to arrive in the auditorium or sign in to Zoom starting at 6:30 pm for a beginners Q&A session. See our Facebook page or you can join the online meeting via the Zoom link above.

NOTE: Please post questions/comments in the Zoom chat. Facebook is not monitored during our educational meetings.
