SUMMARY:Intermediate Beekeeping Class
DESCRIPTION:This class is designed for students with an existing knowledge of beekeeping\, and those who have existing beehives. We will discuss keeping bees locally\, the way to start a hive (package versus nucleus)\, and different options for foundation. The class will focus on IPM approaches\, different options for tackling parasitic Varroa mites\, and seasonal hive management techniques. We will review natural approaches to IPM in place of harsh chemicals. Students will be encouraged to compare notes and strategies\, and to foster community engagement and mentorship. \n\n\n\nStudents will leave with detailed knowledge about treating for Varroa mites\, and a seasonal outline for hive management.

SUMMARY:Spring Management & Swarms
DESCRIPTION:Successful beekeeping is an artful balance of skill\, anticipation\, preparation\, and luck. This intermediate class will explore the best methods to achieve this for Spring. Most of the beekeeping year is spent supporting colonies for optimal health and Winter survival. In Spring\, management techniques aim for this\, but also must incorporate Spring build up\, swarm management and the possibility of honey production. \n\n\n\n**This class is an intermediate beekeeping class and is not suitable for beginners. If you are a beginner or are curious about what it takes to become a successful beekeeper\, please check out our other class options and online videos.

SUMMARY:Beginner Beekeeping Class
DESCRIPTION:This is the second session of the class that meets on 2/23 and 3/2. \n\n\n\nWhether you are interested in learning sustainable backyard beekeeping practices or just want a better understanding of how these delicate\, intricate creatures benefit us and our planet\, you will leave this class a-buzz with new energy! \n\n\n\nThis course covers hive structure\, colony dynamics and delves into basic honeybee biology. We will discuss the history of beekeeping\, from honey production to pollination contracts\, as well as current trends (and rifts) in colony management practices. Weather permitting\, there will be a field trip to Emily’s Apiary in Santa Cruz for a real-life “hive dive.” \n\n\n\nBy the end of the course\, students who are interested in obtaining their own hive will have a good working understanding of equipment\, tools\, management practices\, bee biology\, and how we can work together to support these very vital pollinators. \n\n\n\nThis class is appropriate for adults with little to no experience in keeping bees.
