Bees and Backyard Beekeeping with the Kenyan Top Bar System
Instructor: K.Ruby
Cost: $50-75
Keeping bees is a great way to practice animal husbandry in the city, produce some of your own food and stay in tune with seasonal cycles. In this course you will learn about the life cycles and biology of the honey bee, basic management strategies and equipment needed to get started as a backyard beekeeper using the Kenyan Top Bar Hive, a low input natural beekeeping system. Information on common troubles that arise, how to get bees and where to go for continued learning and support will also be covered. The class will culminate in a hands-on practice session working a beehive.
