The Blount County Beekeepers Association’s annual two-night short course for new beekeepers will be Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 13-14, at 6:30 each night at the Blount County Library.
The course is designed to introduce new beekeepers to the basics of beekeeping in this area. We try to publicize this short course as much as possible, but most of the new folks show up because they have been invited by one of our members.
It’s free, and everyone is welcome. So, start talking to your friends now. The interest in beekeeping around here is growing, and this is a great way to get people off on the right foot.
Even if you don’t plan to become a beekeeper just yet, come and learn more about the fascinating world of bees.
For more information, call Dennis Barry, 414-2116.
The schedule for the workshop is:
February 13
Equipment needed to Get Started
Experiences of a New Beekeeper
Protective Equipment
February 14
Setting up an Apiary
Experiences of a New Beekeeper
Personal Protective Equipment
When and Where to Get Bees
