Locavore Food School Presents: Natural Beekeeping

Locavore Food School is a monthly, on the third Thursday of each month, offering of nutrition and cooking classes taught by volunteers and community members including farmers, local food producers, nutritionists, chefs and alternative health care practitioners.

Natural Beekeeping is becoming more popular than ever, as well it should be. This class will explore some of the facts that will help you be successful as well as some of the fallacies that get many well intentioned beekeepers into trouble. From top bar hives to the “James Bond” method of beekeeping, we will cover many of the topics that confront beekeepers wanting to move away from some of the traditional practices of beekeeping. Topics will include mite treatments, foundation vs foundationless, types of hives and more. Come prepared for what will likely be a lively round of discussion and questions following the presentation.
