A Warminster area course will give apiarists with a moderate level of experience skills they need to care for their hive and the bees that call it home, and it will be divided into three parts.
Whether it’s in a suburban, rural or even an urban setting, beekeeping is a hobby that is becoming a lot more popular. The classes, which are intended for those who have been working with bees for at least a year, will use a combination of classroom discussion and demos in the apiary. The workshops will take place once each month until October.
The spring offerings will focus on helping make sure the bees survive after the winter and preventing them from swarming. After this, the discussion will focus on honey production, and the learners will discover what plants offer the most nectar, how bees communicate, and how honey can be harvested and used.
The other topics that are on the slate include controlling Varroa mites, preparing hives for winter, checking the health status of the queen bee, and offering extra food to help ensure the insects have enough stored away for the winter. The instruction will be provided by certified Master Beekeeper Vincent Aloyo, PhD.
Participating in a series of workshops like these can be educational, while at the same time they offer the students a chance to meet others who share their interest. Learning materials for this type of function can be sourced from Print shops in the area.
Forest Grove Presbyterian Church will be the location for these classes. Aside from one class on June 28, they will be held on the first Thursday of each month up until October, so the next one is this Thursday, April 4.
