Description

Open Teaching Apiary times are an informal unstructured gathering of members of the Great Plains Master Beekeeping program. There will be brief demonstrations, questions and answers, and time to get hands on experience with beehives. Open Teaching Apiaries will count as 2 hours of field training towards your progress through the Great Plains Master Beekeeping program.

Each Open Teaching Apiary event we will identify queens, eggs, larvae, light and use a smoker, do a powdered sugar mite check and talk about what you should be doing with your bees that month.
