Beekeeping Basics for Beginners

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All the seats at our Bee School have been taken, but don’t let that discourage you from learning to keep bees! Check these other local clubs for dates and space:

Caught bee fever but don’t know where to start? Join us for a crash course in beginning beekeeping!

Classroom presentations will cover the basics, from honey bee biology, beekeeping equipment, pests and diseases that affect honey bees, getting started with your own hives, and more. Our speakers have decades of combined experience in beekeeping!

Participants will receive additional hands-on instruction through a series of field days at the 5CBA apiary, scheduled throughout the 2023 season.

The class fee covers a course pack, instruction, lunch, refreshments, attendance at any or all the scheduled field days throughout the season (dates and times TBD), and a 1-year individual membership to 5CBA. Club membership fee will be deducted if already a 5CBA member (-$15).

Details on lunch are forthcoming.

We strongly recommend you purchase and read “First Lessons in Beekeeping” by Keith Delaplane, 2007 PRIOR to the school for maximum benefit. May be purchased online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or at any of the many beekeeping suppliers.
