Do you know someone who's passionate about pollinators? Loves local food? Or is serious about sustainability? Show you support with a gift certificate for the new Sustainable Urban Beekeeping program at the Humber Arboretum, which explores small-scale urban apiaries with a focus on native bees and sustainable hive management.
With this series of weekend classes and workshops, learners are free to pick and choose from topics of interest, or complete required courses and electives to earn a Sustainable Urban Beekeeping Certificate of Participation through Humber College.
Get Them Started with "Beekeeping 101"
The first course, Sustainable Urban Beekeeping: The Basics, will offer an overview of bee behaviour and anatomy, the beekeeping year, and practical matters such as site selection and necessary equipment. This indoor intro to the world of bees and urban beekeeping costs $75 plus HST and is scheduled for Saturday February 4th.
Anyone planning to take the full certificate can save over $300 by bundling the ten courses in advance for only $500 plus HST.
The Gift of Learning
Gift certificates are available for either the intro course or the full certificate bundle. You will be emailed a PDF certificate suitable for printing or sending electronically to the recipient.
