Backyard Beekeeping Using Top Bar Hives

June 9, 2011

Thursday June 9, 2011 at 6:30 p.m.

This free workshop will allow the participant to develop a backyard bee hive on a scale appropriate for the backyard gardener. Top Bar Hives are inexpensive, easy to construct, don’t require a lot of expensive equipment, easy to maintain and require less expertise than more conventional hives. Bennie Rhoads, Shangri La’s Beekeeper will present a program which will allow the participant to develop a backyard beehive that produces honey and provides for pollination. There will be demonstration hives available for participants to examine. This presentation is limited to 50 participants and is for adults only.  Please RSVP: 409-670-9799.
