VAA HiveMeet | Our New Streaming Platform 
Building Community Through Communication 

The VAA's Education Subcommittee is excited to announce a new communication channel where the association will provide education, news and information to our members and beekeepers across the state. The initiative is called VAA HiveMeet; an interactive livestreaming platform. Our aim is to deliver a VAA HiveMeet event with beekeeping experts on the first Thursday of every month. If you attend during the livestream, you'll be able to post questions and engage directly with our experts. Once the HiveMeet is over, we will post a recording on the VAA's YouTube channel. We'll also post links to the video here in the bulletin. 

We know that as varroa becomes more established, beekeepers across the state are going to seek insights and perspectives from industry experts and beekeepers who have already been managing the parasite to keep their apiaries healthy and productive. VAA HiveMeet is a forum were we aim to keep you connected to those very experts and experienced apiarists. 

Our first guest this coming 6th March is Dave Fairhall, VDO Extension & Engagement Coordinator from NSW. Dave will talk to us about being on the front line of varroa management. Invitations with links to the HiveMeet will be sent out closer to the date and will also be on our homepage.
