The 2013 WCBA Short Course was held 22-24 January and was a smashing success. All events involving Fred Dawson and a 16 oz. claw hammer are by law designated a smashing success. Nevertheless, many new beekeepers are well on their way to a lifetime of fun, fascination, frustration, new friendships and fond memories. Congratulations to all who participated and thank you to the volunteers and mentors who took part.
Herb Lester snapped some photos on Thursday night, the last night of the course. They are accessible from our photo page and here: wilsoncountybeekeepers.org/photos/short-course-2013/. Thanks Herb. And thanks again to all who participated in this year’s Short Course.

This is one of the queens Roy Everidge and Ed Holcombe raised back in August. She was introduced to a split colony through the front entrance of an eight frame medium hive on 20 August, and was released the following afternoon when the workers finally gnawed through the candy end of her cage. Luckily the bees accepted her and she must have gotten to work right away. We inspected the colony on Sunday, 11 September 2011 and found four and a half frames of brood in various stages of development, including several thousand capped cells. She looks almost orange.
