Learn about the fascinating life of bees, see our urban beehives, and prepare to start a hive of your own.

 

You’ll leave ready to select and order equipment, set up a hive, install the bees, and tend and inspect a hive. We’ll taste a variety of honeys and other products from the hive.

 

This is the first in a series of two workshops designed to prepare you to keep bees in the city. Beekeeping II: Harvest and Winter Care is offered on Saturday, July 18.
