 n\nThe Bee School\nThe philosophy of The Bee School is based on\nsound
  principles of sustainable, scientific and\nethical apiary management.
  Our goal is to\ntrain a new generation of small-scale urban\nand comm
 ercial beekeepers prepared to face\nthe challenges and rewards of the 
 21st Century.\n\nWe live in an age of unprecedented global\nchange. Ol
 d modalities and paradigms need to\nbe updated. Just as the resilience
  of our\necosystem has to be maintained and encouraged,\nwe as beekeep
 ers and urban residents need to\ngrow into a more flexible and respons
 ive way\nof being; especially in light of honey and native\nbee losses
 .\n\nClasses and workshops at The Bee School\ncombine the very latest 
 knowledge, skills and\ntechniques in native and honeybee landscape\nde
 sign and management while keeping alive\nthe knowledge and traditions 
 of the ancient art\nof beekeeping.\n\nOur intention is to engage the p
 ublic in doing\nmore to protect and preserve bee populations\nthrough 
 courses and workshops that are as\naffordable and accessible as possib
 le.\n\nAll classes provide theory with ample\nopportunities for hands 
 on practice. Sessions\nare relaxed emphasizing the enjoyment and\nappr
 eciation of bees while learning in an\ninclusive environment.\n\nFor m
