Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education

This one day introduction workshop will provide an overview of beekeeping for those considering beekeeping or just wanting to learn more about honeybees. The workshop will cover equipment required, equipment sources, cost, level of effort required, basic bee biology and care, etc. The workshop is intended to provide basic background information and a general understanding of beekeeping, to help determine if beekeeping is for you. *This workshop is not intended to function as a full beekeeping course; it is highly recommended that a full "Fundamentals of Beekeeping" course is completed if your goal is to become a beekeeper.
