<i> 2018 Beekeeping for Beginners<br>
</i> <br>
<i> <br>
</i></b></div>
BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster
announces its dates for the 2018 Beekeeping for Beginners course <b>four
Tuesday evenings: February 6, 13, 20, & 27, 2018 from 6:00pm –
8:00pm.<br>
<br>
</b>This course does not require any prior knowledge of beekeeping.
It is designed to be of equal interest to the person who wants to get
into beekeeping and to those who simply want to know more about the “busy
bees” that provide us with the delicious treat of honey and many of our
fruits and vegetables. <br>
<br>
The course will cover the required hardware, the biology of the honeybee,
beekeeping tasks throughout the seasons, as well as the honey
harvest. The Museum’s four outdoor hives will give the participant
an opportunity to get hands-on experience on how to assemble the
hardware, how to start a new hive (the “hiving procedure”) and how to
assess the health of a developing hive. We will also discuss some of the
recent results of current bee research.<br>
<br>
The course will be co-taught by George Muhlebach, a hobby beekeeper with
over 30 years experience and has run the CCMNH bee program for the last
12 years, and Nancy Hipp, experienced Field Guide, Naturalist, and Bee
docent volunteer.<b> <br>
</b> <br>
The cost is $65 at registration and includes hand-outs and instruction.
Volunteer to assist with 4 summer hive openings during the 2018 season
and get a $25 rebate.<br>
<br>
To register please call the Museum at 508-896-3867, ext. 133.<br>
