SUMMARY:July Membership Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an outdoor meeting at Franklin Farm in Cumberland\, RI. Our speaker this month is Dave Wade and will be presenting on his experiment and discovery on getting bees to draw out more comb\, even outside of the traditional months.Dave has been a hobby beekeeper in Sturbridge\, MA for 19 years. His wax adding method has been seen in the June 2025 edition of American Bee Journal\, along with two recent articles in the MA Beekeepers Association newsletter. He has given a number of bee club presentations\, along with an on-line one hosted by Dr. David Tarpy\, of North Carolina State University.Title: Adding Beeswax to Make Honeycomb- A New DiscoveryAdd rolled up pieces of wax foundation to your hives to get the bees to make comb on a frame which only contains a sheet of foundation or to get the bees to complete construction on partially built out frames. I will demonstrate how I got the bees to build comb from this method through late season August and September. I will also discuss my current spring experiment using six spring package hives with added wax rolls looking to see if they build out stronger and faster than control hives. Wouldn’t it be nice if the bees built out significantly more comb.
