Are you interested in beekeeping but not sure where to start? Join us to learn the basics including locating an apiary, what equipment is needed, input costs, where to get bees, and how to make money with bees. We will discuss "a year in beekeeping" to better understand a honey bee colony’s rhythms and the time you will need to care for a colony of bees. Join us for an optional session after class from 1-2pm where we will suit up and dive into the hives on-site to get a feel for beekeeping. We have limited bee suits so looking into the hives will be first come first serve. Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes! 

This event has limited space available. Pre-register to attend. If you are unable to attend after you’ve registered, please contact community@jvtf.org so we can make the spot available to someone else.
