Curious about bees? This in-depth tutorial is perfect for
you if you are considering raising bees in your backyard, farm or
castle. We will introduce the basics of beekeeping including the
animal itself, the house, and the benefits/ necessities of the Honey
Bee. Also, you will learn about the commerce of beekeeping, including
local apiary services, resources, and supplies, as well as medicinal
& edible products like honey, propolis, wax, royal jelly....YUM!
*A live hive will be installed during this workshop, so
please consider this if you are allergic to bees. We will also be
outdoors.
