Basics of Beekeeping

  • White Feather Farm 321 Bucktoe Rd Avondale, PA 19311 (map)

Basic Intro to Beekeeping - hosted by Rob Mayer of White Feather Farm

We will discuss and share an overview of what is involved in beekeeping, the different types of hives, and most importantly the roles that each bee plays to create a magical living organism. Other topics will be swarms and pollinators. We’ll walk to our bee yard for a brief visit and then group outside, away from the bees as they work. Suits and veils will not be provided, but feel free to bring/wear what will make your stay enjoyable. We will not be opening or working directly with the hives, they are super busy bees this time of year and we always respect their space.
