Name: Beekeeping School
Date: March 23, 2019
Event Description:
Exploring the fascinating world of bees while making honey for your family and providing pollination for your flowers and garden are just a few of the advantages of Beekeeping.
 
The Beginning Beekeeping School in Brenham will teach you how to start and maintain your beehive as well as how to extract honey, assemble your own equipment and even give you the opportunity to safely stand around a live hive while an experienced beekeeper pulls out a frame of bees to show you the queen.
 
Once you have completed the one-day event, you will be prepared to obtain bees, place them in a hive and watch them grow.  Beekeeping is a wonderful family hobby that teaches responsibility to youth and how nature works together.
 
To be held March 23 at Brenham High School, the classes include beginner, intermediate and advanced level instruction.  A catered Bar-B-Que meal is included as well as a school book with additional beekeeping information.  Vendors with a variety of beekeeping supplies will be available with items for purchase.
 
Topics for classes range from extracting honey to raising queen bees and include Apitherapy (the use of bee products in medicine), plants bees use, gadgets for beekeepers and using bees for an agricultural valuation.  Last year over 650 individuals attended the school.
