This eight session series is designed for individuals serious about starting a beekeeping hobby. The series will take participants through the annual cycle of beekeeping from establishing a hive to harvesting and marketing the honye produced. The class members will be actively involved in learning activities by working with the hives at Indian Creek Nature Center. All classes are held at the Nature Center and last approximately two hours; attendance at all sessions is critical.

NOTE: Because there is still room in Class C, we are allowing late registrations even though the class has already begun for 2016. This makes it even more important that you attend all remaining classes.
