Starting Out as a New Beekeeper!
This past Saturday, Ellie gave a talk on how to start out as a brand-new beekeeper. We discussed everything from purchasing equipment to learning the ropes.
If you want to see the slides, you can find them on our website! The slides include information about purchasing equipment, setting up hives, catching swarms, and indentifying diseases. There is also information about scholarships that help beginning beekeepers buy their first equipment and receive mentorship.
The slides also include information on beekeeping clubs local to Rochester and New York. Beekeeping clubs are amazing resources for beekeepers, providing education, equipment, and training! If you don't live in New York, you can probably find a club local to you on Google.
