Beginner Beekeeping

March 22, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

*All registrations must be completed by March 4 so we have time to order supplies – don’t delay!
During the course of this three-day class, you will build a complete Langstroth beehive and learn the basics of keeping honeybees in Northern Minnesota, so that you are ready to put some bees in your new beehive later this spring! You will learn what it takes (cost, time, etc…) to keep your bees healthy and happy, and a little bit of honeybee biology and basic beekeeping skills (hive placement, what to look for during an inspection, etc…).
Each session will include a presentation to deliver important information about getting started with honeybees, and then you will have time to assemble your own hive bodies and frames, and to paint your hive. There will be honeys to taste and examples of other hive products, along with hive equipment, tools, and personal protection options for demonstration.
