WHY DO PEOPLE WANT TO BECOME BEEKEEPERS?
The relaxation, meditation and stress reduction. There’s nothing quite like the rhythm of the bees when doing a colony inspection.
The increased awareness of plants, weather, and the environment. Beekeepers have a deeper appreciation for our ecosystem.
A gratifying sense of accomplishment. Beekeeping is a hobby that provides tangible products and a feeling of self-sufficiency.
The practical & environmental rewards of harvesting your own delicious, raw honey with its unique health benefits, always more flavorful than store-bought…and if you don’t eat honey now-you will, oh yes, you will!
You’ll be “that person with all the bees” in the neighborhood that helps improve the fruit, vegetable, and flower yields in their gardens.
You will harvest beeswax, propolis, and pollen for homemade candles, balms, tinctures, to use or to sell.
You will have a direct impact on local honeybee populations, which are vital for food security and biodiversity.
You will meet like-minded people, and share your knowledge with folks you never expected to meet.
And maybe the best thing about “those fuzzy little insects with stingers”, is that you will always, always learn fascinating bee behaviors, and the intricate workings of a super organism that just makes you say to yourself…WOW!
THIS YEAR’S CLASS IS ALMOST FULL…WHY MISS ALL THE EXCITEMENT, THE CHALLENGES, AND THE REWARDS?
