New and returning beekeepers will learn methods for harvesting, extracting, and bottling honey, natural disease control, and preparing your hives for the winter months.

We’ll do a full hive checkup (weather permitting) and taste urban honey fresh from the comb.  

We will also cover simple treatments to prevent pests and diseases, and review steps you need to take to help your bees survive the cold of winter. 

This is the second in a series of two workshops designed to prepare you to keep bees in the city. Beekeeping I: Bee Basics is offered on Saturday, April 4.
