About this Event
Beginning Beekeeping Workshop
10am-3pm (includes a 45 minute lunch break)
Curious about keeping bees but not sure where to start? This Beginner Beekeeping Workshop is a four-hour, indoor introduction designed to build confidence, curiosity, and a solid foundation before the spring beekeeping season arrives.
Participants will learn how honeybee colonies work, what equipment is needed, how the beekeeping year flows, and what it takes to responsibly care for bees. This class focuses on understanding before doing, designed with winter planning and preparation in mind.
No prior experience required. Participants will receive a copy of _____ with registration.
This workshop is the first in a two-part series and prepares participants for a hands-on intermediate beekeeping class in the spring.
