SUMMARY:Intro to Urban Beekeeping - Spring
DESCRIPTION:Interested in becoming a beekeeper or just want to learn the fundamentals of beekeeping? Join us in 2027 for our 3-class session where attendees will learn from a group of experienced urban beekeepers. The first class of the spring session is on Saturday\, March 27 from 10 am – 3 pm will be in a very warm classroom where you will learn: \n\n\n\n\nBasic bee biology\,\n\n\n\nConsiderations about equipment\,\n\n\n\nHive set-up\, and location\,\n\n\n\nWhere to get your first bees & how to put them in the hive\,\n\n\n\nHive management through the seasons (focus on Spring)\,\n\n\n\nNatural beekeeping approaches & strategies\,\n\n\n\nWhat is going on in a live hive\,\n\n\n\nHow to recognize common pests & diseases.\n\n\n\n\nLunch will be provided. \n\n\n\nApiary Sessions:\n\n\n\n\nFirst apiary session – May 8\, 2027. 9am – 12pm\n\n\n\nSecond apiary session – June 12\, 2027. 9am – 12pm\n\n\n\n\nThe next two classes in the spring session – May 8\, from 9 am – 12 pm\, and June 12\, from 9 am – 12 pm – will be hands-on in-person at the apiary where you’ll suit up for a look at what’s going on in the hive.  You will conduct an inspection with an experienced beekeeper and focus on spring management techniques. These classes are very weather dependent and dates may change if weather is bad. \n\n\n\nThe apiary classes are held simultaneously at two locations – you can choose which location to attend (but we may have to assign people to keep class sizes balanced) – either Awbury Arboretum (in Germantown at 6336 Ardleigh St.\, 19138) or Anna Bee’s Honey (in South Philly at 2500 Dickinson Street\, 19147). Both classes will be on a Saturday from 9AM – 12PM. \n\n\n\nEach three class session is $200 per person and we can advise on purchasing equipment to get you started once you’ve completed the course. Paying class participants also become Guild members at the “Bee Lover ” level. This will keep you informed of other apiary and volunteer opportunities and give you a discount if you decide to upgrade to Hobbyist or Beekeeper levels. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll Classes

SUMMARY:Urban Beekeeping - Apiary Session
DESCRIPTION:This is now the first apiary session for our 2027 Urban Beekeeping Intro Class since the other first session in April was canceled. \n\n\n\nPlease review and sign the Guild Apiary Liability Waiver. Before you come. You can complete the form online below the PDF. \n\n\n\nYou 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. \n\n\n\nAs 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. \n\n\n\n   We’ll be looking at colonies during the peak of the nectar flow as they rush to put away as much honey as possible while conditions are best. Swarming is still a possibility so we’ll be keeping an eye out for swarm signs. We will also discuss what to expect in the months to come as nectar dries up and we start to prepare for fall and winter.
