🐝September Beekeeping 101 – A New 12-Month Series
Whether you’re brand new to beekeeping or have had bees for years, BCBA’s Beekeeping 101 is designed to build and reinforce the fundamentals every beekeeper should know. This month marks the first class in a new 12-month series, with each month focusing on a different aspect of beekeeping and building on what was covered before.
Our first class will start at the beginning with an overview of beekeeping and its benefits, followed by an introduction to basic honey bee biology and behavior. We’ll also take a look at the many resources available to help you continue learning, including recommended books, websites, YouTube channels, local mentors, and other trusted sources of beekeeping information.
If you’ve been thinking about getting bees, recently started your first hive, or simply want to brush up on the basics, this is a great place to start. The class is free and everyone is welcome.
Guest Speaker - Dr. Garrett Slater
Our September 9th, guest speaker at 7:30 pm is Dr Garett Slater, Assistant Professor in the Department
of Entomology at Texas A&M University. We have always had very informative discussion sessions when
Garett speaks to us. This presentation will cover services offered by Dr. Sater’s lab including honey bee
genetic testing, instrumental insemination, and drone congregation mapping. Dr. Slater leads the Texas
Extension Apiary Program, and he manages the Texas Master Beekeepers Program. Not to be missed!
