Natural Backyard Beekeeping for Beginners

[Bee Guardian]

Hi all,

We are reaching out to sustainable groups and those interested in
learning about bees.
We will be in Fort Collins this Saturday, March 31st giving a
beginner's backyard beekeeping course.
BackYardHive and Corwin Bell have been caring for bees naturally for
over 17 years.
Corwin practices a holistic approach in caring for bees that focuses
on enhancing
the bee’s immune system through attentive listening, right timing and
sustainable methods.

This beginner class is for those just getting started. We will cover
basic bee ecology,
how the bees communicate with each other in the hive, explain why bees
are a
super-organism, we'll cover setting up the hive, getting bees,
catching a swarm
and getting the bees into the hive. We will demonstrate how to work
with the
bees in an altruistic, gentle manner so that a symbiotic relationship
is formed
with the bees.

You can find out more information on our website and also
register for the class.

Hope you can join us!
happy spring,

After I posted this link to my facebook page, I had a Denver friend
say that she took your workshop and found it extremely valuable. She'd
been thinking about beekeeping for several years and had taken another
course previously, but she felt moved/empowered to jump right in after
taking your course. She's been keeping bees for at least two years
now. I may see you there on Saturday, if we can get our schedules
rearranged here.

This is great to hear, yes we do focus on
empowering people to learn a natural way
of working with the bees and caring for
them sustainably.

Hope to see you on Saturday, we will be able to
visit some hives and work with the bees.

We will also have an intermediate class in
Boulder on April 29th, for anyone who
already has bees and wants to learn
a deeper understanding of working with
the colony.
