Autoclave Success

Author: Tamara Potter

Planning Unit: Entomology

Major Program: Beekeeping

Outcome: Initial Outcome

In May, the Kentucky State University autoclave was inspected and sterilized four "high intensity" grow bags for a local mushroom farmer.  I also hooked up the autoclave trailer to take it on a test-drive.  I hope to advertise the autoclave availability in future months to local beekeepers.
