BK105 with KT Thompson - Spring 2024

Monday Evenings (6:00-8:30pm) on Zoom & 1 Saturday in the Apiary

The Beekeeping 105 course is taught by KT Thompson in a total of four parts - 3 on Zoom from 6:00pm-8:30pm on Monday Evenings Feb 19, Feb 26, & March 25 (registrants will receive meeting link and details via e-mail after registration is complete & payment is received) AND one Saturday in the Apiary (near Byers/Strasburg) pending weather, but tentatively scheduled for the end of April or early May - we will solidify the day in the apiary as the date approaches.

KT Thompson serves as both ECB & CSBA Board Officer, is a certified Master Beekeeper, has taught science at the high school & college levels for nearly 15 years, is Director of the Colorado Master Beekeeping Program and has taught honey bee biology & beekeeping to adults and high school students both in person and online to a wide range of beekeeping levels.

Beekeeping 105 overlaps somewhat with Dan Rau's Beekeeping 101, but is meant to be its own class for beekeepers wanting to advance their understanding of their bees and the art of beekeeping. It is appropriate for folks who've had bees for a few years as well as NEW beekeepers who are interested in really diving in. Topics will include: introduction to the honey bee, beekeeping equipment, beekeeping as an animal husbandry, working with bees, health concerns & basic management, seasonal colony changes & management, class member choice topic presentations, and hive inspections & monitoring/record keeping.
This class is meant for beginner/apprentice level beekeepers and has been approved as apprentice level education that will help you qualify for the Colorado Master Beekeeper Program, if you'd like (http://coloradobeekeepers.org/education/general-information-and-applications/).

- The minimum registration for this class to run is 6.
- Payment is due at time of registration (absolutely MUST be RECEIVED BEFORE class starts) - for payment options, please see below.
