Introduction:
Are you a backyard beekeeper, an urban beehive enthusiast, or a beginner eager to learn more about our essential pollinators? Join us for an engaging workshop that introduces you to the joys and responsibilities of beekeeping!
This course covers everything you need to get started, including safety practices, common myths, legal requirements, and essential techniques for keeping bees. You'll have the chance to examine a live hive, observe the intricate comb-building process, and learn to identify the queen and her eggs.
Discover how beekeeping can enrich your garden, enhance fruit and vegetable growth, and provide a sweet reward: pure, local honey! This unique experience also offers a close-up look at the fascinating world of European honeybees, equipping you with the skills to maintain a happy, healthy hive right in your urban backyard or rural setting.

A full-coverage beekeeping suit will be provided for those who want to get close to the hive, but please note that there is still a small chance of being stung. If you have ever experienced an anaphylactic reaction to bee stings, we advise against joining this class.
