Bennington County Beekeepers Club

Our Speaker will be Chris Cripps of Better Bee talking about Varroa.  If you want Chris to bring an order from Greenwich with him, he’s very willing to do so.  Just place your order ahead of time.

Chris is about to be the past president of the Southern Adirondack Beekeepers Association and is an owner of Betterbee in Greenwich.  Chris has been a large animal vet and is currently involved in training veterinarians in issues around the use of antibiotics as treatments for American Foulbrood.  Chris has spoken to our group in the past and we are glad to welcome him back.
