Brand New Class! Beekeeping 201 with our Intro to Beekeeping instructor Alex DeCesaro. The first class will be Friday, July 14th at 5:30pm.
This class is the sequel to our Intro to Beekeeping class. Taking Intro to Beekeeping or having similar beekeeping education is highly encouraged before taking this class.
In this course we will go more in depth about what a hive inspection consists of, how to 'read' comb, diagnosing, and honey processing. Students will have hands-on opportunities to see and 'read' honey comb up close as well as harvesting honey. We will also cover how to gear an over-wintered colony up for spring.
Most beekeeping that is taught today is taught in a conventional manner, and Alex's class will help open your mind up to natural beekeeping tendencies as well as some of the folklore that is associated with the honeybee. Students will have the opportunity to ask general questions as well as specific questions regarding their hive throughout the class.
