Guernsey Noble Beekeepers
Beginner’s Beekeeping Class
2021
Guernsey Noble Beekeepers has joined a pilot program with the Ohio State Beekeepers in providing a zoom beginner’s bee school. The Pilot Program will include 10 clubs throughout Ohio who will be teaching a portion of the beginner’s beekeeping program on the first Saturday of each month starting on February 6, 2021 through November.
Objective: The internship will break down each beekeeping skill on a month-by-month schedule as to what the beginner beekeeper should be doing in your apiary. To assist, we will present live/recorded videos to demonstrate step by step procedures. All classes will be recorded and hosted on a private YouTube channel. If a student would miss a live event, they would be able to view these recordings at any time. There will also be a private Face Book group for class participants, showing all of the active Zoom links, YouTube recordings, and information through-out the year. Not only will you learn the skills of beekeeping but will obtain mentoring through the Guernsey Noble Beekeepers.
Cost: $20.00 for the entire education which includes a one-year membership in the Guernsey Noble beekeepers and a one-year membership in the Ohio State Beekeepers.
To enroll: please email Don Crock at doncrock@yahoo.com of your interests. Include your phone number and email.
