Are you a wannabeekeeper or simply have questions about beekeeping?
In this class we will discuss the basics of what you need to know to get started keeping bees in your backyard or rooftop. We'll discuss honey bee biology and behavior and learn what honeybee stewardship entails. The class will focus on sustainable urban beekeeping, including a hands-on demonstration of necessary equipment and information on where and when to purchase supplies. You'll walk away with the resources and knowledge you'll need to decide whether to pursue this sweet, rewarding hobby!
If the weather permits, we will be inspecting a beehive - so bring a suit if you have one! If not, one can be provided. Also, please wear closed-toe shoes and refrain from using scented clothing or beauty/hair products.
Note: Although we are meeting at the Houston Dairymaids, their register will be closed for sales.
