SUMMARY:Introduction to Honey Beekeeping
DESCRIPTION:Taught by beekeepers Bruce Janes and Jim Buck. \nThere is a lot to learn about starting your own beekeeping. Start by learning the basics of residential honey beekeeping. Why do people become beekeepers. What you need to consider and the differences between beekeeping in a rural vs urban setting. What equipment and tools do you need. Hive terminology and where is the ideal spot to place a hive. The different types of bees\, workers\, drones and queen and what their responsibilities are in the hive. Also\, hear a bit about the financial responsibility to get started. \nBruce Janes volunteers in a commercial apiary\, and is a member of three bee clubs. Bruce is excited to teach this class because his philosophy is that the first step to becoming a successful beekeeper is to learn as much as you can about the bees themselves. Competent honey beekeepers require hands-on training and mentorship. Before purchasing honey bees or equipment\, new beekeepers should seek as much training as they can. \nCo-instructor Jim Buck will talk about Flow Hives. The Flow Hive was developed in Australia by father-son entrepreneurs\, Stuart and Cedar Anderson\, who have sold thousands of them all over the world. They have designed a honey super with plastic comb and levers which allows the honey to flow out of comb with the turn of the levers. This ingenious design circumvents the need to remove frames and extract honey through centrifuges. Jim has used the flow hive successfully for three years and enjoying sharing my experience and tips with others. \nLOCATION:Gresham Japanese Garden Kyoudou Center219A S Main AvenueGresham\, OR 97030 \nInside Main City Park.
