Do you want to expand your beekeeping skills and move beyond feeling like a beginner year after year? In this series, you'll explore different hive management options, learn how to improve your colonies, solve your trickiest problems, and engage with other like-minded beekeepers. By the end, you'll be able to identify your colony's needs, have the skills to meet those needs, and develop a sustainable apiary. Participants must have completed an introductory beekeeping course, have a basic understanding of bee biology and management, or have maintained a hive for at least one season.
The course will consist of four online evening lecture and discussion sessions and two in-person field days. The field days will take place at Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary in Lincoln, MA.
Presenter: Mel Gadd, has been an active beekeeper for over 14 years, he's a member & past board member of the Essex County Beekeepers Association and current board member of the Boston Area Beekeepers Association.
