Description:

Are you a beekeeper with a number of years of experience who wants to increase your understanding of bees and improve your practices? Do you feel like you might need a “booster shot” to update what you learned in your beginner bee school? Wish there was an opportunity to reinforce your experience to maximize your beekeeping success?

If you answered yes, set aside two full days and immerse yourself in theoretical and practical aspects of beekeeping at the BEES Academy. During live and pre-taped videos from the Beekeeper Education & Engagement System (BEES), Dr. David Tarpy, other members of the NC State Apiculture Program, and CES instructors will help you build upon your current knowledge of beekeeping by exploring topics such as: 

    • Honey bee anatomy

    • Division of labor & bee behavior

    • Queens, drones, and mating

    • Diseases, parasites, and disorders

    • Varroa Integrated Pest Management

    • Advanced management techniques

    • Effects of pesticides

    • Honey and other hive products

Each presentation is roughly 30-60 minutes long and will be followed by a short Q&A and discussion period. On the second day, you will have the opportunity to practice and observe important areas associated with bee management, including several of the following: Hive products, How to read a pesticide label, Diseases under the microscope, Monitoring for varroa mites, Nutrition and supplemental feeding, Identification of native bees. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a certificate of completion.

Three instances of this course were offered in three separate regions in North Carolina in 2019 with resounding positive response from attendees. BEES Academy notebook, T-shirt, lunch and snacks are included in the registration fee.
