If you have ever wondered about keeping bees or just wanted to learn about ways to get involved, join us for Intro to Beekeeping. We will go over the costs, logistics and initial knowledge needed to start your own hives, as well as the basics of honey bee biology and behavior. The class will focus on urban beekeeping but most information will easily crossover for suburban or rural beekeeping as well.
This class is a brief overview and primer for our full Beginner's Beekeeping Course that begins on March 15th, 2020. A great way to put your toe in the water before committing to the full course.
This class will be in the Meeting Room at Bohemian Hall. All are welcome to purchase a beverage to enjoy from the bar during the class.
**Discounts are not available for classes.
