intermediate course in honey bee management

This class is designed for participants who have taken the Bee-Ginner Course at Pound Ridge Organics or who have had some prior experience with bees.  It is assumed that each participant currently has bees or is expecting delivery soon.  The model for the course is for all of us to travel and over time visit the hives of all group members. The instructor will offer support at each visitation and each participant will have the opportunity to gain from observing different circumstances. We will expect to visit more than one hive per class session, so some driving is expected.

Each class member will have the chance to acquire another level of beekeeping skills, such as recognizing signs of swarming, understanding pest control options and assessing resources.

Class will meet Sundays at 10 am unless otherwise announced.
