Description: The course is going to be a brief introduction to Urban Beekeeping. We will cover basic bee biology, hive management, the beekeeping calendar, honey production and an introduction to integrated pest management. Participants should leave with a better idea whether the exciting world of the honeybee is something for them. We will be doing a hive inspection and participants can sample some honey right out of the hive. A veil will be provided.
Instructor: Christian Duhme has been a beekeeper for 5 years. He is the beekeeper for the City of Vancouver and keeps bees on the roof of City Hall and on Southlands Organic Farm. Christian is a certified Beemaster and the Head of Biology at St. George’s School. In 2007 his teaching style and enthusiasm was recognized with the National Teaching Excellence Award by BIOTECanada. Christian has a passion for anything bees and when he is not ‘knee-deep’ submersed in a beehive he enjoys to spend his free time with his two little children Markus (2 years) and Emily (3 months).

Do you really like honey? Did you know that it’s quite simple to keep bees and create your own honey? In this tutorial, I’ll take a look at
the various steps required to begin your very own beekeeping hobby or business for either fun or
profit, perhaps even both.
Thank you for your post squido.com And why, yes I DO love honey and am very interested. I will share this link with my husband who is just learning about mason bees.
