Beginner Beekeeping Course 1 Day

Beginner Beekeeping Course – 1 Day

This 5-hour course is designed for complete beginners who want to explore the world of beekeeping. By the end, you’ll have a solid understanding of what beekeeping involves, and I’ll continue to mentor you as you grow in your beekeeping journey.

I currently manage 50 colonies in the farm area of Big Bend, Burnaby, am an active member of several beekeeping clubs in the Lower Mainland, and part of the BC Bee Breeders Association. 

Topics covered:

• Bee biology and behavior
• Hive equipment and how to use it
• Colony management through the seasons
• Honey harvesting
• Bee health and common issues

You’ll also receive a “Beekeeping in Western Canada” book to take home and a month-by-month agenda catered to our climate here in Vancouver.

Bonus for participants:

• Opportunity to purchase my limited supply of overwintered nucs
• Option to buy a complete beginner hive kit
