Free Garden Class - Beekeeping

May 17 Beekeeping - Learn from Arvada Community Garden beekeepers all about hives and beekeeping. You will learn the life cycle of the European honey bee, and the many unique jobs bees perform in and outside of the hive. Learn how new bees regulate the population of the hive. When and how can the youngest bees in the hive make a new queen. How do bees regulate the temperate of the hive? Learn how and why beekeepers inspect the inner workings of the Langstroth hive. How is it that a drone can have a mother, a grandmother, a grandfather, but never a father? Learn the current health hazards that threaten the future of honey bees. John Baltich CMG
