SIGN UP FOR BEEKEEPING WORKSHOP
Calling all new beekeepers! If you’ve been thinking about what it takes to have your own bees here’s a great opportunity to learn from the pros how to do it. Join us for a series of fall and winter workshops where Roger Twitchell and his wife Ellyn Hutton of Cainey Branch Farm will explain in depth the steps to becoming a successful beekeeper. You’ll learn everything from where to site your beehives, what equipment you’ll need, how to order your bees and set up your hive to managing them through out the coming year. We’ll spend time in the nurseries bee yard, getting to know the girls (bees) and learning the techniques to manage them.
There will be also be a special class open to all on designing a bee garden. Betsy Smith will teach us which plants are most attractive to bees and how to incorporate them into your landscaping.
Here’s the layout of the classes and the subjects we’ll cover. Beekeeping class size is limited to up to 20 people and there will be a $5.00 charge for materials. Call the nursery 926-5644 to reserve your spot or email us at justfruits@hotmail.com
