Bee Curious Workshop - People, Plants, Pollinators

Are you curious about bees? Would you like to be a bee conscious gardener? Have you ever considered what it takes to become a beekeeper?

This is a basic workshop designed for people who have never handled live bees.

The topics we cover are:

• Bee Biology and Behaviour – anatomy, colony structure & behaviour, communication, reproduction, foraging, and honey production

• Basic Beekeeping - seasonal calendar (a beekeeper's essential guide), beekeeping tools, equipment, and assemblage, pest management

• Bee conscious gardening - creating bee habitat, native bee species

• Beehive products - honey, wax, propolis, royal jelly

There will be on-site hive demonstrations as we go through each topic.
