Post from Flanders Nature Center & Land Trust:

Flanders is pleased to introduce a Level II Beekeeping course, the second part of our Bee-ginnings Program consisting of five (5) classes starting Monday, March 30, 2015.

This five-class course will cover the book, “The Biology of the Honey Bee” by Mark L. Winston. Each class will cover chapters of the book and in-depth discussion.

Al Avitabile, Emeritus Professor in the Biology Department at UCONN, and co-author of “The Beekeeper’s Handbook” is a noted beekeeper and researcher.

This Level II beekeeping class will expand upon Flanders Bee-ginnings Level I course. Please note, the course fee does not include the cost of the textbook.

Students should read the first three chapters of the text for the first class and feel free to bring a snack.
