Have you taken an intro to beekeeping class and you're ready to take your education to the next level? Then this class is for you! Experience how to inspect a honey bee hive - perfect for new beekeepers, or those preparing to start their own hives soon. Learn how, when, and why you should conduct hive inspections. We will discuss seasonal considerations, what's 'normal' and what's not, get an introduction to common hive pests, and we will learn the basics of lighting a smoker. If you own a smoker, feel free to bring yours to practice!After suiting up in protective gear, we will spend time performing a hive inspection as a group. You will learn how to identify honey bee eggs, larvae, and pupae, and everyone will be given time to practice handling and moving hive bodies and frames during the inspection. This is a hands-on class, so get ready to handle frames of bees!
We cap this class at 12 students total to allow you the best opportunity for a truly hands-on experience!
