Natural / Topbar Beekeeping Workshop.
|
Whanganui 18 February 2012
Learn the basics of starting, inspecting and maintaining a healthy colony of bees using low-impact, low-cost methods good for you, bees and our environment. I am a passionate urban beekeeper; join me as I share my experience of keeping bees in top bar hives. I will cover essential elements of hive design and construction, how to start a hive using swarms and nucs, seasonal management of a top bar hive, comb handling and inspection, mite and diseases control options and solving early problems. There’s more to beekeeping than honey and money! More and more people around the world are successfully using these methods to care for a hive or two in their backyard: doing their bit to ensure the survival of strong, healthy colonies of bees. Plus their gardens and fruit trees are pollinated — and they have honey to share with their family and friends. Course fee $65: includes extensive course notes and a great ‘show and tell’ of a top bar hive, beekeeping equipment, and natural beekeeping books. To register, or find out more information, please contact me using the form below. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you start out on your relationship with these amazing creatures.
