Bees & Trees for Homeowners

VMS Opportunity: AT Bees & Trees for Homeowners TAMU AgriLife The August meeting for the 2021 series will take place on Friday, August 20, 2021, at the Washington County Expo Sales Facility in Brenham!  Beekeeping continues to be a hot topic, especially for medium to small acreage landowners.  Before you jump in head-first and order the equipment and a hive of bees, come learn what to expect! We will hear from several area beekeepers on what it takes to raise honeybees in this area of Texas, some of the challenges they face, and what they’ve found to be good solutions.  In addition to bees we will take a portion of the afternoon to talk trees!  In Texas and especially in our part of Texas trees are a valuable commodity that landowners care about and strive to keep them healthy and vigorous.  Come learn about tree biology, how to recognize common tree problems, and how to manage for tree health. We will “leaf” no question unanswered, discussing planting, pruning, watering, fertilizer, insect and disease control.  Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity!  Two CEUs (1 General, 1 IPM) will be offered for all licensed pesticide applicators.
