Keeping Beehives Healthy

Two new beekeepers start their new hive in Door County.

The newly formed Door County Beekeepers Club will host “Diseases of the Beehive and its Treatment” on April 16 at 7 pm at Crossroads at Big Creek. Presenter Ken Sikora is the president of the Brown County Beekeepers Association and has been a beekeeper for 25 years in the Green Bay area. Sikora presently maintains an eight-colony apiary, and is pleased that four of his hives made it through the winter. He enjoys his hobby tremendously and is eager to share his experiences and knowledge about diseases of the beehive with both the novice and experienced beekeeper.

The presentation is open to all, and an offering will be collected for the bee keepers club. Crossroads at Big Creek is located at 2041 Michigan Street in Sturgeon Bay.
