Catching the Buzz: Beekeeping for Beginners

*All registrations must be completed by February 10 so we have time to order supplies – don’t delay!

In this class, you will learn what is required (time, effort, cost) to manage honeybees in northern Minnesota. You’ll also learn basic beekeeping skills, hive placement, different types of honey bees, what tools to use, and personal protection options.

You will also assemble your own Langsroth hive from a kit, and you’ll be able to leave class with a completed bee box!

Class will take place over three consecutive days.

Prerequisites

Bring your own hammer
Bring your own 7″ or larger carpenter’s square (we have extras if you need one)

Age

13 and up
