Urban Beekeeping – Apiary Session

This is the second apiary session for our 2026 Urban Beekeeping Intro Class since the first one in April was canceled due to cold weather.

Please review and sign the Guild Apiary Liability Waiver. Before you come. You can complete the form online below the PDF.

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.
