Beekeeping
for the Future
With Bill Day
Saturday, November 12 $95 Thinking about starting with honeybees next spring? This one-day workshop will address all the questions aspiring beekeepers need to ask as they prepare to embark on this spiritual yet profoundly nature-bound journey. Beekeepers with one or two years' experience will also find this workshop a useful opportunity to take stock of their experiences to date, ask questions, and share insights. 
The workshop will be organized around the beekeeper's essential role in nurturing the hive organism. What can we as beekeepers do to create conditions in which our bees can thrive? What are the most up-to-date natural and holistic methods, and how do they work? 
Topics covered will include: The biology of the hive organism and the beekeeper's role in fostering healthy hives; sources of bees, and siting your hives; managing the varroa mite; working with different hive designs; and more.
Weather permitting, the day will include a visit to to Pfeiffer Center's apiary, where we'll open some hives and demonstrate techniques discussed in the classroom. For a complete workshop description, click here, and to register on line, click here.
