Join beekeeper Eric Strong of Gretta's Goats to learn beekeeping basics. This two hour class gives the beginner beekeeper all the information needed to get started with their own hive. This class will cover honey bee biology and life cycle, pests and diseases, foraging habits, and beekeeping equipment and techniques. Each student will get a handout and will participate in "building" a hive from bottom board to top. The class will also simulate the installation of bees and a queen. Think of it as a hands on demonstration of getting a bee hive ready to house a new colony of bees!
