SUMMARY:Intro to Beekeeping
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Beekeeping:\nA Hobby with Sweet Rewards\n~ Session 1 of 3 ~\nThis program will introduce you to the basics of honey bees\, their behavior\, biology and the guiding principles of beekeeping. \nInstructor: Robert Burkard\, President of the Friends of Brooker Creek Preserve’s Beekeepers Club \nWhy honey bees? In addition to the personal satisfaction of harvesting your own pure natural honey\, many of our food staples would disappear without honey bees for pollination. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture\, these under-appreciated workers pollinate 80 percent of our flowering crops\, which constitute one-third of everything we eat. Hobbyist beekeepers play a vital role in keeping our honey bee population healthy. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<< \nWant to take the entire series? \nRegister for Part 2 on Sunday July 14th here! \nRegister for Part 3 on Sunday July 21st here! \nAdditional Notes: This program will be held in our auditorium.
