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.

Beekeeping and Bee Caring

The Bees' Knees: Beekeeping and Bee Caring Basics with the Northern Arizona Organic BeeKeepers Association In-Person

Celebrate Earth Day at Flagstaff Public Library!

Join us for a talk and demonstration (without bees) on what is involved beekeeping and caring for the bees in our environment through flowering plant, honeybee, and other pollinator relationships. Check out two types of hives while learning what is needed to open your own hives and to work with bees. There's something in this talk for people of all ages, and whether you want to keep your own bees or learn more about how your garden, yard, and natural environment can support bees. Presented by local organic top bar beekeeper Dr. Patrick Pynes and the Northern Arizona Organic Beekeepers Association. Bring sunscreen or a sun hat, water, and a blanket or camping chairs to sit in the grass!

 

This talk will be presented outside on the North side of the library, weather permitting.
