Notice to Intermediate Beekeepers!
In coordination with Debbie Roos and the Chatham County Cooperative Extension Center, we are once again offering our popular Beekeeper Education Engagement System (BEES) Academy on September 16 and 17, 2022. This course is aimed at beekeepers with a few years of experience wanting to improve their beekeeping
knowledge and know-how.
Past participants have told us their understanding of not only WHAT and HOW, but WHY we should take certain actions with our bees has enabled their beekeeping practice to grow to the next level. This course involves your commitment to 2 days attending video-taped and live lectures followed by Q & A sessions, including the second day with hands-on practice and demonstrations of beekeeping techniques by members of the beekeeping and university communities.
The cost will be $175 per person for the full 2-day training. Refreshments, lunch, and training material will be provided on both days.
Topics that will be covered include:
Honey Bee Anatomy
Division of labor & bee behavior
Queens, drones, and mating
Diseases, parasites, and disorders
Varroa Integrated Pest Management
Advanced management techniques
Effects of pesticides
Mite counting and treatments
Registration for the event will open at the beginning of August.
