Beekeeping basics with novices Patty and Steve Bebee and experienced beekeepers Amy and Beau LaFleur. They provide a short overview of getting started as a hobbyist beekeeper and share our experiences getting started, hive components, life inside the colony, the different jobs of honeybees, and a year in the life of a beekeeper. Equipment, clothing, costs, time, and what about getting stung? If time permits, we can talk about honey harvesting/benefits of honey. They finish with a panel discussion on how and why we started beekeeping.
