Our goal for the class is to teach you about honey bee biology, their importance to the environment and the food supply, how you can help honey bees and last but not least, how you can start keeping honey bees in your own back yard.

The class is organized as a session on a Saturday in the classroom. After the classroom session, we will do three hands-on days in our club apiary where you will get the opportunity to learn to light a smoker and do an inspection of a live hive.
