Introduction to Bees and Beekeeping Forum Planned
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 01/23/2008
The Dunn County Beekeepers and the University of Wisconsin-Extension are sponsoring an 'Introduction to Bees and Beekeeping' Workshop on February 16 at the Disabled American Veterans Building in
Menomonie. The workshop is designed to provide the basic information necessary to start beekeeping in Wisconsin.
Participants will be guided through their first year of beekeeping. The workshop is intended for those who have no experience with bees and beekeeping. The 2007 Wisconsin Honey Queen, Becky Folgert,
will also be on hand.
Organizers say the eight-hour course will guide participants through their first year of being a beekeeper, from a general understanding of how honeybee colonies are started and managed, and the procedure
of how to order a package of bees, the purchasing and assembling of equipment you and your bees will need for a successful first year. Discussions of basic bee biology, colony development, diseases, pests,
summer management and honey extraction will help provide a basic knowledge of the beekeeping. The course is intended for those who have never had a honeybee colony.
Anyone interested in bees and their impact on our environment are welcome to attend.
The cost will be $35 for the first person from the same family; $15 for the second person. For more information or to register, call 715-232-1636.
