Backyard Beekeeping

Would you love to produce your own honey, save the bees, and help the environment? Bob Valcov, our beekeeper-teacher, is passionate about his work. He will give you the bug! Though the course is instructed in English, Bob fluently speaks French.

This workshop covers:

• a brief history of beekeeping
• simple biology of the honeybee
• pollination
• basic requirements and needs for getting started
• seasonal hive management
  • feeding
  • queens
  • swarms,
  • over-wintering
• diseases and pests
• harvesting and processing of honey and beeswax.

Hopefully, a visit to an apiary is possible during the course, but not guaranteed.
