LEARN TO KEEP BEES
4 Part Class That Takes You Through the Beekeeping Season
Ever thought about keeping bees? Like the idea of learning as you go throughout the season? Then this series of classes is right for you! We have divided up the content and set the schedule to provide beginning beekeepers the right information at the right time. Honeybees are livestock and in order to properly care for them there are many things a beekeeper needs to know. Our 24-26 hours of instruction spread over the season and hopefully coupled with the live hive demos which allows us to go into more depth than a typical one- or two-day overview class. Participant will receive an electronic version of the course manuals. We are working on making it possible for you to be able to connect with classmates and facilitators on a closed Facebook group.
