SUMMARY:Beekeeping  Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This 3 day workshop on April 1st and 8th 5:00-7:00pm and 11th 9:00am-11:00am promotes safe beekeeping practices\, healthy hive management\, and proven strategies to reduce colony losses while supporting local honey production. With recent research indicating colony losses of up to 60% in California—and with the tri-county region playing a critical role in bee breeding and agricultural pollination—this training is both timely and essential. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOffered in collaboration with the Honeybee Discovery Center\, the Honeybee Biology & Beekeeping Workshop is a hands-on\, three-session training designed for both new and returning beekeepers. \nHoneybee Discovery Center expert trainers Emily Helton and Jerry Hightower bring extensive field experience in commercial beekeeping\, colony health\, and sustainable hive management—ensuring participants gain practical\, research-informed skills they can immediately apply. \nHosted by Butte College The Training Place at the Glenn Center\, this 6-hour program combines engaging classroom instruction with live field demonstrations to build foundational skills\, strengthen hive health\, and increase honey yield.
