April 29-30, 2011.

Organic Beekeeping: Principles and Practices.

Chestnut Hill, New York.

This workshop at The Pfeiffer Center covers topics suitable for all beekeepers, from novice to expert, with a focus on intermediate and advanced techniques. The first Friday afternoon session demonstrates hive construction and the basics of handling bees. The rest of the workshop – Friday evening and all day Saturday – presents a balanced view of natural beekeeping topics not ordinarily covered in lectures and articles, including: swarming as an expression of the bees’ vitality; working with swarms and making splits; the importance of wax production; and acid treatments for Varroa mites. Weather permitting, the day is punctuated with visits to the hives, where techniques for handling bees are demonstrated.
