Event Description
Join beekeeper Lianne Shyry of Two Bees Apiary for a 2.5 hour introduction into the basics of beekeeping in the urban setting. Gain an understanding of the yearly cycle of beekeeping and anatomy of a colony. Learn about components of the hive, what you’ll need to start out, and what to expect in your first year. Discussion will include potential diseases, pests and challenges of today’s beekeeping. You’ll leave with enough knowledge to get started as a backyard beekeeper!
