Urban Beekeeping – Apiary Session

This is the first apiary session for our 2026 Urban Beekeeping Intro Class

You don’t need to bring anything other than sensible shoes and casual dress to the apiary session. We will provide bee suits and expert guidance.

As to what’s sensible in shoe-wear, it’s best to have something with a high top that the bee suit can cover. If you don’t have anything like that wear heavy socks that you can pull over the bee suit. This will protect your ankles. The rest of you including your hands will be covered.

We’ll be looking at colonies during the fastest build up period of the year, on their way to swarming or even post-swarm and we’ll discuss population dynamics, swarm prevention, and swarm catching.
