BACKYARD BEEKEEPING 

Have you heard the buzz? Backyard Beekeeping classes are in full swing at the sanctuary and there’s never been a better time to learn the time-honored tradition of keeping and caring for bees. Together with Ryan, owner and expert beekeeper of Necker’s Farm, we’ll walk through summer and fall beekeeping, explore what’s happening in the hive and prepare for the colder months beyond. Each class is tailored to what is happening real time with the sanctuary bees and hives, ensuring topics stay relevant to the many variables within each season. Sign up for one class or enjoy them all!
