Have you heard the buzz? Back by popular demand, Backyard Beekeeping classes are returning to the sanctuary! There’s never been a better time to learn the time-honored tradition of keeping and caring for bees and we’ve got the expert to show you how. Ryan Griffeth of Necker’s Farm will guide participants through spring, summer and fall beekeeping with the last class instruction focusing on winterizing your colonies. Explore what’s happening in the hive, how to provide optimum care for the bees, and how to extract your own honey. Each class is tailored to what is happening real time with the sanctuary hives and our 1 million bees, ensuring topics stay relevant to the many variables within each season.&nbsp;
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned apiarist, classes are tailor made for you! Plus, each student can text the instructor outside of class for guidance or questions. Sign up for individual classes or enjoy all eight for a fully immersive education into beekeeping!&nbsp;
Class Four – May 30: Maintaining a healthy colony
We are still in peak swarm season, but now at peak nectar flow. This class will be more focused on maintaining a healthy colony through the nectar flow to get the largest crop possible. We will be focused on keeping the colonies in the hives and working at optimal performance. There will also be tastings of fresh honeycomb and pollen. A fun class with a lot of newbie worries behind us!Link to register: <a href="https://www.cvhfoundation.org/event/backyard-beekeeping-maintaining-a-healthy-colony/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">cvhfoundation.org/event/backyard-beekeeping-maintaining-a-healthy-colony/</a>
