Intro to Beekeeping, Sunday April 13
Where: The Barn at Honey’s Harvest Farm (5801 Brooks Woods Road, Lothian MD 20711)
When: Sunday April 13, 2025, 1pm-3pm
Facilitator: Allan Storm
Some scientists estimate that one out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of animal pollinators like butterflies, moths, birds, bats, and, of course, honeybees!
Join Allan Storm, aka “Storm”, a Master Beekeeper from Stormy Acres Bee Farm, as he presents a beginner’s introduction to honeybees and beekeeping. We will also see honeybees in action within an observation hive, which allows us to observe honeybees without disturbing them.
During the class, Storm will cover:
Honeybee colony structure (queen, worker, drone)
Honeybee life cycle from egg to larva to pupa to adult
Honeybee foraging behavior
How honeybees collect nectar, turn it into honey, and store honey
How flower shape and color and nectar accessibility influence honeybee attraction and honey production
Why a continuous supply of blooming flowers throughout the growing season is necessary to support honeybee populations
One ticket per attendee is required. Tickets are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
