Event
Natural Beekeeping: Getting Started (Virginia Beach, VA)
The looming threat of colony collapse disorder has raised awareness about the plight of the honey bee and increased demand for honey produced naturally, in a manner that supports the health of the honey bee population.
This one-day workshop will provide a series of lectures on natural approaches to apiary management that don't rely on chemical inputs, as well as hands-on demonstration sessions.
Lectures will include the following topics, and more: hive position and construction, supplemental feeding; honey removal, processing and labeling; wax processing; frame and hive storage; hive transition and previous chemical exposure; record keeping.
Beekeepers younger than 14 must be accompanied by an adult mentor who also registers for the workshop.
