Beekeeping for Bee-ginners, 5 Class Course
This 5 class course goes beyond the basics, and into the nitty gritty of beekeeping. You will finish this course prepared to embark on your own beekeeping adventure! This series of two-hour classes will teach you about bee behavior and biology, and best practices in: pest and disease management, feeding, beehive construction, beekeeper safety precautions, winterizing your hive, honey harvesting, and more! The course is taught by Green-Wood’s Head Beekeeper, Nick Hoefly of Astor Apiaries. All 5 classes must be attended for participation in this course, and students will receive a certificate of completion. The first 4 classes will take place in our Modern Chapel, and the final class will be a “live action” class with full equipment at the beehives. Spots are limited to 20 students, so don’t miss out!
