Program Description

Event Details

Bees are fascinating, environmental warriors tasked with pollinating the plants. Learn all you can about honeybees and the details involved in beekeeping: Equipment, choosing hives and bees, managing the colony, harvesting honey, and keeping your bees healthy.

Backyard beekeeping is an interesting hobby that goes a long way toward promoting healthy honeybee populations. If you’re considering becoming an amateur apiarist to save the bees and enjoy home-raised honey, this program will give you an overview of what’s involved in starting a bee colony and how to get the most out of it.

Presenter: Ray Sola of Ray's Raw Honey is a 17 year veteran of beekeeping.
