Beekeeping Course-4 Saturdays in April
Sign up today! So you want to be a beekeeper? Or just curious? Get the BUZZ. Beekeeping is the fastest growing hobby in the United States. This series of seminars will explain why, and will give you an introduction to beekeeping in order to understand what is involved. It will also contain descriptions and explanations of the equipment needed, how to use the equipment, problems facing bees and beekeepers, and a comprehensive description of the life cycle of honey bees, which is necessary if you want to become a successful beekeeper. Included in the course, as an added benefit, we will instruct you on how to install a package of bees. This will be done by installing a package into a hive (week 4) at The McGregor Home Apiary.
