Learn about honeybees and how to start a new hive at Intro to Beekeeping on Sunday, March 22 from 1 to 3 p.m. in The Studio.
Bees can survive under diverse climate conditions and are one of the few insects that produce food for humans. (And such a food!) Keeping honey bees happy and healthy is essential.
Instructor Maggie Wachter will share the basics of starting a new hive: how to get bees, the honey bee life cycle, nutrition, equipment and what to do about mites. Would-be beekeepers and others with a lively interest in nature are welcome.
$25/person. Register here by March 19. All sales are final.
