How to learn to raise bees and make honey by mecoleman

"Interesting and fun to do, and the honey is great!"

How I did it: Check out my blog to learn how I got starting raising bees and how things are still going.  I took a little time to learn some beekeeping basics and then I purchased my supplies in kits and jumped in.  I have made a lot mistakes, but done a lot of things right.  

Lessons & tips: Jump in... doing is the best way to learn.  And expect to make mistakes... lots of them.   

Resources: My blog.

    One step closer today... 10 hours ago

    Ume, B and I went to the Cygnet Herb and Organic Expo today and sat in on a wonderful lecture about Bee Keeping.

    This wonderful man runs an Adult Education course next September, which we are all keen to attend. He was so enthusiastic and inspiring, that we know this can be feasible ~ yay!!!

    I’m coating your driveway in honey and there’s nothing you can do about it.

    Well, Mr Jingels husband bought me a book on raising bees and making honey. So this is a great beginning. Am slowly working my way through it

    So I went to “bee school” on Sat. There were about 400 people there – who knew it would be so popular? There is so much to learn. I have the basics down for raising bees – but only in the abstract. Honestly I would prefer to work with a mentor or someone willing to walk me through a demo. Still nervous about those stings. As for making honey…didn’t even get that far yet. Regardless, bees are amazing. Nature is truly a wonder, manifest in no better example than a bee colony.

    I signed up for an all-day workshop featuring bee-keeping introductory classes. March 12 – run by Ohio State University through their extension campus. I’m excited to see if bee-keeping is a realistic thing for me (in the city).
