Curious about bees? Thinking about keeping your own hive? Learn how to get started and the basics of equipment, managing hive health, and honey production. We will see and handle bees and frames and also taste some very different honeys. This is a hands-on workshop with plenty of interaction with bees and hives. We will provide veils, but please wear long sleeves, long trousers, and footwear with socks.
