Registration closes on Tuesday night for this one-day workshop open to all.

Hive products are more than just honey and beeswax. They include pollen and propolis, nucs and queens, and some surprises which we will explore. So what are the steps for a sustainable harvest? This workshop will examine harvesting tools and methods, regulations, jarring, and labeling first-hand.

Incorporating a hands-on component, attendees will have a chance to uncap a honey frame and spin it out using our hand-cranked centrifuge. Learning how to clean beeswax and build a simple solar wax melter are also part of this experience. 

Wear clothes you don't mind getting messy and/or bring an apron!
