Beekeeping Workshop at Glynwood
Rodney Dow, Master Beekeeper and Garrison resident, will be conducting the first in a 2-part beekeeping workshop at Glynwood Farm on Saturday, April 19. Although people keep bees for their honey, Mr. Dow will teach participants about more than just honey: he will introduce them to the world of bees and the role of bees in the world.
Part 1 will cover everything you need to know about getting started with bees. Topics include hive location, equipment, disease control, bees' reproductive cycle, the sociology of bees, and the organic approach to beekeeping. No equipment is required, but if you have a veil and gloves, please bring them. Part 2, which will take place on September 6, will address gathering and extracting honey, as well as over-wintering of bees. The two parts are independent, so don't be reluctant to take Part 1 if you can't plan on taking Part 2, or vice versa.
The April 19 session will run from 9:30 until 4:30 and the $75 registration fee includes breakfast and lunch. To register, please call Anita Barber at 265-3338 x 129. Glynwood Center is on Route 301 east of Route 9.
