Introduction to Backyard Beekeeping

Join Nicole Gunderman from Hamilton County Conservation District for a basic introduction to what's involved in raising honeybees. You'll leave with enough information to make an educated decision about whether you'll go for it and learn more or it isn’t the right time or project for you.

Either way, you’ll learn a lot about honeybees, their fascinating life cycle, the important role they play as pollinators, and the next steps you can take in your beekeeping journey! You'll get to explore an empty beehive (no live bees) and handle the “tools of the trade,” including a protective bee suit, smoker, and hive tool.

Note that the location of this class has been changed to the CGC's Green Learning Station.
