This is the first slide show for the beginning beekeeping class for back yard beekeepers for the Cape Girardeau Career and Technology Center, taught by Jackson, Missouri, beekeeper Grant Gillard. Like any new hobby, keeping honey bees and establishing an apiary can be a little intimidating. Bees sting and it hurts! Bees are still dying and this is still a very challenging time to get started. It's also kind of expensive to buy honey bee equipment, whether new or used.
Early Humans relied on Hunting wild animals and gathering vegetables and fruits, and in the course of their hunter-gatherer lifestyle they would have come across honey in bees’ nests high in the trees.
These slides are from Robert "Bob" Borkowski's "Beekeeping 101" workshop, presented through the Institute of Applied Agriculture at the University of Maryland, College Park.
