- **Event Name**: April 2026 Meeting: Roger Patterson on Colony Increase
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 28 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 am (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: In April 2026, we will be joined live via Zoom by Roger Patterson, a British beekeeper and long time educator, for a practical discussion on colony increase.

This will not be a step by step how to session or a single prescribed method. Roger focuses on principles, decision making, and understanding consequences rather than chasing numbers. The goal is better colonies, not just more boxes.

The discussion will stay intentionally flexible but will broadly touch on:

Why and when colony increase actually makes sense

Common mistakes that lead to weak or unmanageable colonies

Timing considerations through the season

Balancing increase against honey production and colony health

Why slower, simpler approaches often outperform aggressive expansion

This session is well suited for beekeepers who already have some experience and are looking to be more intentional about how and why they grow their apiaries. There will be live Q&amp;A, and the direction of the discussion will naturally follow the questions and interests of those attending.

This is a live Zoom presentation projected during our in person meeting.
