Interested in becoming a beekeeper? The University of Minnesota Bee Lab and Bee Squad will help you get started in beekeeping. If you have no prior experience keeping bees in our cold climate, Beekeeping in Northern Climates will introduce the essential skills and knowledge needed to keep bees successfully in northern climates.Topics include:
Purchasing equipment and honey bees
Hiving packages and installing nucleus colonies
Choosing an apiary site
Producing and harvesting honey
Overwintering colonies in cold climates
Identifying and managing diseases and varroa mites
The first day will be a classroom-based introduction to honey bees and beekeeping. The second day will be active learning demonstrations that reinforce the concepts. Due to the unpredictability of March weather, this course does not include live bee work.
