Interested in Beekeeping?

Want to review the basics?

The Bennington County Beekeepers’ Club is offering an Introduction to Beekeeping course six Thursday nights: March 6, 13, 20, 27, April 3, and 10; 7-8:30 PM. Later in the spring there will be a visit to a bee yard.

The course will cover basic beekeeping principles, honeybee biology and health, pests and parasites, hive management, and how to get started setting up your own bee yard.

The cost of the course is $25 per person, which includes a one-year family membership in the Bennington County Beekeepers’ Club. Attendees will need to purchase or locate the textbook on their own. Classes will take place in-person at the Bennington Free Library on Silver St. in Bennington.
