Event Description

Join this course to meet a queen!

After discussing bee ecology and safety, we’ll slip on protective clothing and gather a hive of 10,000 bees. Finally, we’ll sample honey from a variety of sources and discuss the importance of bees and the environment. This course is meant to only whet your appetite. Please attend an advanced course before starting your own hives.

Students will learn about:
Bee ecology
Beekeeping safety
Basic hive management

Students will get hands-on experience with:
putting on protective clothing
inspecting bee hives
harvesting honey
