2025 Lunch & Learn Recordings

Every two weeks we invite owners of The Keeper's Hive to join our Co-founder and head beekeeper George Datto for a live Zoom session where we answer their questions and discuss management strategies. Below are recordings of the meetings, some topics may repeat a few times but every session contains a wide variety of information that could be helpful to any beekeeper!
