The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History
presents
  2018 Beekeeping for Beginners


BREWSTER, MA ­ The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster announces its dates for the 
2018 Beekeeping for Beginners course four Tuesday 
evenings: February 6, 13, 20, & 27, 2018 from 6:00pm – 8:00pm.

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.

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.

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.

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.

To register please call the Museum at 508-896-3867, ext. 133.
