instead of buying? Advantages and disadvantages of rearing your own
queens. Things to consider before beginning: number of hives needed
to be successful, materials needed, planning, etc.

grafting practice.
(We will also be offering an all-day

NC State Apiculture Program, Beekeeper
Education & Engagement System (BEES)
| Title: |
BEES Online 'Beginner' Bee School |
| Begins: |
February 13, 2013
(3 sessions of Q&A with the instructor) |
| When: |
Wednesdays, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
(15 lectures for a total of 5.31 hours of
online instruction that can be taken prior to Q&A sessions at the
student's convenience) |
| Where: |
Online through Collaborate webinar software |
| Cost: |
$48 |
| Sponsor: |
NC State University and Cooperative Extension Service |
| Additional Information: |
Each week will cover each course in the
'Beginner' level of the BEES network:
Week 1-BEES 1.01: Basic honey bee biology and life history (5
lectures, 1.66 hours total instruction)
Week 2-BEES 1.02: Introduction to beekeeping and hive management (6
lectures, 1.95 hours total instruction)
Week 3-BEES 1.03: Importance of bees and beekeeping to society (4
lectures, 1.71 hours total instruction)
Participants will be responsible for reviewing the week's online
materials prior to the meeting time, which will then be discussed
during the Q&A session. Taken together, the three courses create a
condensed bee school of ~5.5 hours and 15 lectures total aimed at
taking a complete novice to the point where they feel comfortable in
starting their own hives. Each of the three 'Beginner' courses has
an associated quiz, which is online and automatically graded in
order to receive a downloadable personal eCertificate of completion.
However, note that the BEES network is neither intended to replace
nor supplant any existing Master Beekeeper Program, so passing (or
even taking) these tests is not necessary and has no bearing on any
MBP requirements. That said, these courses should be sufficient
training to enable students to pass introductory (e.g., 'Certified')
level tests for most MBPs, but separate arrangements need to be made
for those programs. |
