Beekeeping 102: Ins & Outs of Beekeeping

In part two of this two-part Beginner Beekeeping series, the Ins & Outs of Beekeeping will cover everything you need to know to get your own beekeeping operation started! Beekeeping 101 is NOT a prerequisite for this workshop.

Led by Carmen of Feral Farms Beekeeping, this lecture-based workshop participants will cover everything you need to know to get started in beekeeping - from acquiring bees and equipment to choosing the right location for your apiary and protecting your hives from predators. Expect to leave with a general understanding of the beekeeping season in WNC and the realistic knowledge, work, and cost required to keep a honeybee colony happy and healthy throughout the year.

After completing Beekeeping 101 and/or 102, participants will be eligible to sign up for hands-on workshops with Feral Farms Beekeeping in Spring 2027!
