SUMMARY:The Bare Basics of Backyard Beekeeping
DESCRIPTION:Saturday August 29th\, 2026 | 10am\nChoose Your Price: $5 – $30\nMost people get into beekeeping for the honey and stay for everything else. A hive is a working colony of tens of thousands of insects running a system that has been refined for millions of years\, and you get a front row seat to it. \nThis class is for anyone who has been curious about backyard beekeeping and will help answer questions about the time\, effort and costs associated with it. \nTim starts inside the hive: who does what\, how a queen differs from a worker\, why the drones get shown the door every fall\, and how an egg becomes a foraging bee in about three weeks. Once you understand what the colony is trying to do\, the rest of beekeeping makes a lot more sense. \nThen the practical side. In this class\, you’ll touch on: \n\nHoneybee biology and the life cycle\, from egg to adult\nWhat actually happens inside a hive across the seasons\nThe equipment you need to start\, and the equipment you can skip\nWhere to buy hives\, tools\, and bees here in Western North Carolina\nWhat a first year realistically costs\nWhen to order bees\, since the good sources fill up months ahead\nHow the Macon County Beekeepers Association supports new keepers year round\n\nNo experience needed. You will not be opening a hive or handling bees in this session\, so come as you are. \nTim Maier is Vice President of the Macon County Beekeepers Association. \nPurchase your ticket at our new\, secure online portal here!
