Concerning Honey Bees

This class will discuss the evolution, history, biology, behavior, and mysteries of buzzing insects with a focus on the honey bee. I will give a brief overview of beekeeping (this is not a how-to-keep-bees course) and honey bee products. We will learn the difference between bees and their wasp and hornet counterparts. We will explore the challenges facing bees and native pollinators, and you will discover how you can support bees and beekeepers. We’ll discuss some big names in the bee world and the amazing research they’re doing. There will be myriad stories about cool things and experiences.

Note: This is NOT a Beekeeping class, however, it may give you an idea of what beekeeping entails and the amount, kind, and frequency of care involved. Also, I can certainly refer you to resources relevant to your geography (America only).
