Cutout is the term we use for honey bee colonies that are ‘cut out’ from a built structure. You can see Ben here, performing a cutout from the ceiling of a house.
In this Learning Circle, the property owners will let us use their barn for a live, hands-on demonstration of how to remove bees in leiu of the standard bee removal fee. The bees have been there for years!
Our Cutout Learning Circle will be held:
Saturday, July 8, 2023
9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Knoxville, IA
Spots are limited to 20 people. A meal and take home supplies are included. $20 deposit required.
