Beekeeping is a complex and fascinating pursuit with plenty to learn and sweet rewards! If you are interested in
becoming a beekeeper yourself, this comprehensive seminar featuring Georgia Master Beekeepers and industry
professionals will prepare you to establish and manage a successful apiary. This workshop will guide you through
understanding the honey bee as well as the steps to obtain your bees, tools and hives. This program will also cover
harvesting, various hive products and how to use them. Participants will also learn about proper care and some of the
common challenges facing beekeepers today.
Each participant will receive a box lunch, a copy of First Lessons in Beekeeping and a one-year membership to Eastern
Piedmont Beekeepers Association. As a bonus, all participants will have the opportunity to participate in a follow-up,
hands-on class at a nearby apiary on March 22, from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. or 1–3 p.m.
