Local Organic Beekeeping Workshop

 
What Are the Bees’ Kneeds?

A Local and Organic Beekeeping Workshop at The Hat Ranch
near Williams, Arizona

Taught by Patrick Pynes (Flagstaff) and David Loeffler (Prescott)
of the Northern Arizona Organic Beekeepers Association (NAOBA)

Saturday, August 27, 2022, from nine a.m. to one p.m., Arizona time


In this hands-on workshop, we will explore answers to these important questions:

•    How can humans work with the honeybees, rather than against them?

•    What is the Heroes to Hives project? How do we bring together honeybees, beekeepers, and U.S. Military Veterans and Dependents, especially for our mutual benefit?

•    What is the Hat Ranch/Mogollon Rim: past, present, and future?



This bioregional workshop is appropriate for anyone who is interested in learning more about a local and organic approach to small-scale beekeeping in the Little Colorado River and Verde River watersheds, and all points in between.

Tuition: $20 for U.S. Military Veterans and Dependents; $60 for the general public. Limited to twelve participants.

For more information or to register, write to Patrick.Pynes@nau.edu or to honeybeeteacher@gmail.com. Co-sponsored by the Sustainable Communities Program (SUS) at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff.
