Getting Started, Swarms, Hives, Comb Building
In this first of a three part series, be introduced to the wondrous honey bee and develop backyard beekeeping skills. Learn who the honey bee is, the plight she currently faces, and how you can help restore her vitality - while at the same time enjoying her sweet honey! Experience the basics of natural beekeeping so that you can begin at home. Participate in the assembly of a hive, in the examining the bees, and the housing of a swarm.
As it may be too late to do so afterwards, you may want to order a package of bees prior to the workshop date. For more information, contact David Basile at david@steinercollege.edu.
