An adventure awaits you, whether you are interested in how honey is made, the
prospects of owning your own hive, or conquering your fear of stinging insects.
These are just a few of the accomplishments of our two-session classes. There
is something of interest for everyone and the classes are appropriate for all
ages. We encourage family participation.
These sessions are also for those who already own their own bees but have never
really understood how to manage them. They are also designed for those who have
already purchased a hive from us or have a deposit down on one. We have found
it best to keep their hive at our farm for the summer. After the student takes
off the honey in the late summer or early fall, we then transport the hive to
their home and help them get it set up.
In our classes we follow the life cycle of the honeybee beginning in early spring
and concluding in late summer. Please allow us to take you through a summary of
these sessions.
*In the first session (April) we will meet together for approximately
three hours. We will cover History: How did we get to this point of honeybee management?
Math?? Yes, Math! Creation is literally supported by mathematical
equations, and our honeybee (aphis Mellifera) is no exception to this fact. Science:
Lots of it as we go along.
