Description

Join us for our first beekeeping workshop of the season at our beautiful South Chicago Farm and Apiary! Led by Beatrice Kamau and Malcolm Evans, this workshop is geared towards beginning beekeepers who are interested in purchasing or currently own beehives. Participants will be introduced to honey bee biology and behavior, hive parts and tools, record keeping, and hive installation and set up. The instruction for the course includes both a classroom-style presentation as well as hands-on work in the apiary. Participants should wear light-colored pants, a long-sleeved shirt, socks, and closed-toed shoes. Protective gear will be provided while in the hives. We do not want financial barriers to prevent anyone from participating in our workshops. To apply for a scholarship, please fill out THIS FORM. In case of rain, this workshop will be rescheduled to Saturday, May 28th.
