Beginner to Advanced Beekeepers: Sharpening Your Skills for Better Results

Description

Saturday, July 13 | 9 am - 4 pm

WOW, what in the world went wrong? This is a commonly heard statement among beekeepers with 1 to 4 years of experience. This class, taught by Jesse Frierson of East Coast Honey, is tailored for beginner to fourth-year beekeepers as an enhancement to get you going again and help to refine your beekeeping skills. During this in-depth, one-day session, participants will get a solid refresher about beekeeping best practices and will learn many “tips of the trade” in helping to enhance your results in 2024 and as you begin preparations for the 2025 season.

Bring your list of the toughest questions and get the knowledge, information, and seasoned guidance you need after your inaugural beekeeper experiences—be they good, bad, or not-so-good. We’ll cover swarms, varroa mites, hive beetles, wax moths, honey harvesting, dealing with the late summer dearth, fighting back against yellow jackets, how to properly prepare your hives for the Fall and Winter months, and many other topics. This class will bring you to the next level of the beekeeping craft, help grow your passion for bees, and increase the positive impact you have on the environment through your beekeeping practices.
