Angela Roell
Are you thinking about starting a wonderful hobby with a fascinating social insect that will bring you closer to nature? Do you want to know more about what beekeeping entails? This practical workshop will help you understand and potentially start the craft of keeping honeybees. The program will include information about hives and beekeeping material, set-up, honeybee life, a beekeeper’s year, and natural management. We will begin the workshop by opening a small nucleus hive to discuss hive anatomy. We will discuss bee life and activity within various hives, hive management on a natural system, and hive splitting. It is recommended that you wear long sleeves and pants if you’d like to handle the honeybees.
