The Wilson County Beekeeping Association is conducting a beekeeping short course on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday evening, January 22, 23 & 24 at 7:00 PM in the West Building of the Ward Agricultural Center.
The course takes three nights to complete and runs from 7:00 to 9:00 PM each night. The first two nights will be a class-room setting with video and discussion. We will cover all aspects of beekeeping. The third night will be hands-on. We will be building hives ready for use. The cost is $25/person or $45/couple. Contact Petra Mitchell at petrabee@hotmail.com to register.
The James E. Ward Agricultural Center is located at 945 E Baddour Pkwy, Lebanon, TN 37087 (the Wilson County Fairgrounds). After you enter the fairgrounds through the main gate, we are in the West Building (2nd building on your left).
When will you be having another 3 day course? Thank you, Betsy Walker
I don’t think there is another one scheduled for this year at WCBA, I could be wrong. There are beginner courses offered in other counties near by if you are looking for one in the near future.
Actually look at the calendar tab at the top of the page, it has a schedule of what’s planned for the year. Next short course is in October.
Also, WCBA is conducting a beginner’s workshop on March 9 here in Lebanon. Details to follow soon. Likewise, the Cookeville Beekeepers club is holding a beginner’s class on Feb 23 in Cookeville. There is no way their class will be as good as WCBA’s :-), but if that date works out better for you, you’ll find more info on their class here: http://cookevillebeekeepers.com/01/beginning-bee-keeping-class-scheduled-for-feb-23
