Honey Beekeeping 101: Introduction to Backyard Beekeeping
Interested in learning more about the fascinating world of a Honey Bee? Join local Master Beekeeper and TwoBees Apiary owner, Lianne Shyry, to delve into the basics of backyard beekeeping.
In this workshop you will be introduced to basic honey bee biology and behaviour, what it takes to get started, and natural management techniques. Lianne can answer all your questions about local bylaws, being bear safe, and what it is like to be a beekeeper. If you're inspired to start your own backyard apiary after the workshop,
Lianne will be able to direct you to local resources to learn more. You will see examples of drawn comb, frames, propilis, and wax; the workshop will take place close to the Loutet Farm Apiary.
Lianne Shyry is a Master Beekeeper, and keeps hives in her backyard on the North Shore. She has been enjoying the experience of watching over honey bees for almost 10 years.
