Want to learn to keep honeybees? Want to learn how to evaluate information and the beehive? Want to get good and complete information for our area?
The Cherokee Beekeepers Club (CBC) and local beekeepers (Jason Segers, and BJ Weeks) are hosting a 5-week course on beekeeping for beginning beekeepers. The course will cover getting started, building equipment, understanding bee pests, medications, strategies for keeping bees, producing, and extracting honey. A strong emphasis will be on understanding the bees and processes involved. The class will finish with a daytime hands-on workshop in the bees. This is a class for beginners who wish to understand and start keeping honeybees. The class is an annual event started in 1997. Understanding the motivations of the bees enables us to continue learning and effectively work with the bees. Package bees can be ordered during class for spring 2022.
