Natural Beekeeping Class

October 17 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Pulling out a frame from a beehive

Want to help us save the bees? We believe it starts with changing the way we keep them!

Discover a truly natural approach to beekeeping—without chemicals or sugar feeding—and learn to work with the natural rhythms and instincts of the hive.

A hands-on, day-long workshop, apiary tour and live honey harvest with Matt Therrien of The Bountiful Bee Company

You’ll Leave With a Better Understanding of:

  • How honeybee colonies naturally grow, reproduce, and prepare for winter

  • Different approaches to natural beekeeping without feeding or treating your bees

  • How to get your first bees and establish a healthy colony

  • How swarm catching can become part of your beekeeping journey

  • What it takes to care for bees throughout the seasons

  • How bees can contribute to gardens, farms, food production, and biodiversity

  • Harvesting honey while leaving plenty of honey for your colonies

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Gardeners • Homesteaders • Farmers • Landowners • Nature Lovers • Aspiring Beekeepers

You don’t have to be a beekeeper to start helping bees. You can start by learning.

**Veils or beekeeping suits MUST be worn to participate in the apiary tour portion. Honey harvest is weather permitting.
