Return to the roots of homesteading and savor the sweet, natural taste of honey. Beginning beekeeping will help you learn the basics. Explore the world of beekeeping from equipment to the rules and regulations that "swarm" around starting and managing a colony. You'll learn about honey production and processing; and floral sources for healthy bees. USDA Breeder and Propagator, John Klapac will lead the class. There is potential for a field trip. The instructor recommends that you purchase Honey Bee Biology and Beekeeping by Larry Connor and Dewey Caron. Price is $90. It is not a required purchase. More information about the book will be provided by the instructor during class.
