Bees Academy 2022-Save the Dates

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.
