This two-day class will introduce students to Natural/Organic Beekeeping with a Biodynamic influence.
You will come away with the knowledge, as well as the inspiration to nurture your honeybees and respect these hardworking, gentle creatures who live in complex and beautiful communities. This class will provide a broad understanding of the responsibilities and challenges entailed in this undertaking, so you can be knowledgable, loving and confidant beekeepers. This class will be helpful to beginning and semi-experienced beekeepers. We can help you obtain bees and we suggest you wait until after the class to purchase your equipment so you have a better understanding of your choices.
Intro to Organic Beekeeping (Saturday 10am - 1pm & 2pm - 5pm)
Learn about the basic requirements and responsibilities for organic beekeeping. Understand the community of a hive and critical aspects of honeybee biology. We will discuss the tools and equipment involved, elements of site selection, and where you can obtain honeybees. Understanding certain intrinsic concepts will help you be a better beekeeper. There is a demonstration of assembling a wooden hive, and extensive class handouts.
Understanding and Caring For Your Bees (Sunday 10am - 1pm & 2pm - 5pm)
Topics will include: hive congruency and design to benefit the colony (including Top Bar Hives); Honeybee health and disease management the natural way; seasonal concerns and methods to keep your bees strong.
Follders with Handouts will be snail mailed to students, and we will also be sending links to films and reading material prior to class.
If canceling within two days of the class we charge a $15 fee and refund the rest... otherwise full refund with advance notice.
In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
Students who have taken the Natural/Organic Beekeeping - Winter Weekend Workshop have praised the instructors, Chris and Grai, for their deep knowledge and passion for beekeeping. The class provides a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of beekeeping, going beyond basic knowledge and addressing practical skills such as assembling boxes, using foundations, adding boxes, and conducting inspections. The instructors emphasize the importance of bee-centered, organic methods and the relationship between honeybees and the natural world. Students also learn about the challenges faced by honeybees due to commercial beekeeping, habitat loss, and pesticide use, and how natural beekeeping can provide a more sustainable approach. Overall, students have found the class to be informative, inspiring, and a great introduction to beekeeping. Quotes: - "When I entered the class, I had some experience in beekeeping, but they have such deep knowledge that it reinforced what I knew but went so much deeper into all aspects of beekeeping." - "Honeybee Lives is one of the very few teaching an approach to keeping bees that is more bee-centered, organic, and about the husbandry between the Honeybee and humankind." - "Chris and Grai conduct an informative and inspiring class. I highly recommend their class. It's an excellent balance of intuition and science-backed approaches to beekeeping."
