The Voelker Orth is home to a thriving bee colony.
Now that bee-keeping is legal in NYC, the Museum is offering a foundation course for aspiring and practicing bee-keepers.
It covers the basics of bee care and honey-harvesting. And, it is a great opportunity to meet other bee-keepers.
The course is taught by master bee-keeper Walter Blohm. Walter’s knowledge draws on his 30 years of experience and his work maintaining 25 hives. The instruction is suitable for individuals who are considering bee-keeping as a hobby, as well as people who have some experience or currently maintain hives.
The course fee is $90, ($75 for Voelker Orth members).
