This class will be ONLINE VIA ZOOM. You will get both video and
audio recordings after the class.Learn how to do a thorough inspection
of your beehive! We will cover all the tools and how to use them
correctly. We will go into a hive and show what everything looks like:
eggs, larvae, capped worker/drone brood, and uncapped & capped honey.
You’ll learn how to assess if your hive is the right size for the
amount of bees and if you have a fertile, laying queen. Perhaps most
important, you will learn what not to do, as it riles the bees, and
instead how to keep them calm and mellow.
If you are a new beekeeper, we recommend you take this class along
with the Intro to Backyard Beekeeping and the Year Round Varroa Mite
Mgmt classes.
INSTRUCTOR: Jennifer Radtke has been keeping bees in her backyard for
14 years, and has developed the beekeeping education program at the
Oasis. She is former vice-president of the Alameda Co Beekeeping
Association. She pays close attention to her bees and is constantly
learning. When she gets stung or riles up her bees, she adds it to
knowledge base of things not to do in the future.
