Join us for a day of learning about beekeeping! The course will be hosted by Avon Hills Folk School. The course will run from 9:00-12:00 on Saturday, March 26th with included lunch from Bo Diddley's and a glass of cider to follow the class.

The Beginning Beekeeper Course provides instruction on the basics of beekeeping. It covers the two main areas each beekeeper should know before getting started. They are bee life cycle and bee equipment. The bee life cycle part will contain some beekeeping history, honey creation and other hive products, pest and disease control, and other common colony management issues that beginning beekeepers will face in the first few seasons of keeping bees. The equipment part will introduce the Langstroth hive, as well as the Layens Hive, personal protection equipment, including costs and other options.

This class is for adults only.
