We often get the question, "What do bees do in the winter?" It's a great question! In this class, we'll talk about what our bees are naturally inclined to do to prepare for and survive the cold months ahead and what we can do to help them through.

Join us in the apiary for a hand-on experience. We'll open up a hive together and see what the bees can teach us. From suiting up and lighting a smoker to proper hive etiquette to locating the queen, we'll share what we've picked up over the years.

Join us under the wisteria for a really unique crafting experience with our friend, Tami Fuller of Blubird Studio.

Bring a friend, bring a drink, and prepare to immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of pounding hammers.

This class will answer all of the most frequently asked questions we get here at the store. We'll talk about all of the things to consider before committing to backyard beekeeping, including cost and time commitment.

We are thrilled to partner with Tara and Jeff Hahn of Hahn's Honeybee Haven to present an in-depth look at preparing hives for winter.

Tara and Jeff have years of beekeeping experience under their ...beesuits?...and have developed some highly successful methods for overwintering hives in all sorts of conditions. Their success rate is fantastic, and well-deserved as they have put a great deal of time into learning, researching, and practicing the art of keeping bees.
