Join experienced apiculture teacher Greg Harrington for this intensive introduction to beekeeping. You'll leave this course with enough knowledge to manage your own beehive including queen rearing and how to split a hive.
You will leave this course with enough information to manage your own beehive. The course covers all aspects of beekeeping and you will receive a set of comprehensive course notes commonly referred to as your bee bible.
Bring your lunch each day. Bring gumboots for the practical bee sessions if you have them. Otherwise wear thick socks (or two pairs) as extra protection for your feet/legs.
It started out as a hobby, joining a beekeeping club then becoming the president after a few years. I opened my own beekeeping equipment store and beekeeping training. 500+ students have completed my introduction beekeeping course.
I have known about the decline in world bees and by teaching and passing on my knowledge I hope this will increase the world population of bees. It's not all about the honey. Bees are a major part of our eco-system and without them we will lose a large percent of our food supply.
