About the workshop:

An intro to Beekeeping. What is involved with starting beekeeping and the regulations for keeping bees in the city. We will also ID some native bees. (Note: while the workshop will begin at The Mustard Seed, we will walk approximately 5 minutes south of the Co-op to the Victoria Park Pollinator Garden for the majority of the workshop.) Participants will have a chance to taste Humble Bee's honey during the workshop and you purchase a bottle afterward at the Co-op!

About the instructor:

Luc Peters is one of the beekeepers from Humble Bee. Humble Bee are primarily urban beekeepers, with half a dozen apiaries in the Hamilton area, including on the rooftop of The Mustard Seed! They focus on urban honey production, breeding and sales of queen bees and nucleus colonies, and educating beekeepers and the general public.
