The Toe River Beekeeper Association (TCBA) will be offering a one-day, hands-on Bee Basics for Beginning Beekeepers class. The introductory class will be offered on Saturday, March 23, at a local apiary (weather permitting).

This class is designed to help new beekeepers get started by identifying the equipment they need, setting up their first hive, transferring a package of bees or a nuc to their hive, and conducting an inspection. Participants will also learn how to identify various stages of brood and what each one means, steps to help prevent a hive from swarming, when to add honey supers, and how to minimize stings while working with bees. After attending, participants should be comfortable setting up their own hive and have a basic understanding of how to handle bees in the hive.

This class is being hosted by Toe River Beekeepers and is open to anyone age 14 and up who is a TCBA member. Sign up for the class. Not a TCBA member? Membership is only $10 and interested parties can sign up
