Join Mid-Michigan Beekeepers Club for a presentation on basic honey bee biology by Apiculture Extension Educator Ana Heck.
Learn about bee life stages, the roles of the queen, workers, and drones, and the colony as a superorganism. Understanding basic honey bee biology will help any beekeeper make beekeeping management decisions throughout the season. This talk is intended for new beekeepers, but beekeepers of all experience levels are invited to attend.
The presentation will take place in person and will not be broadcasted online or recorded.
Beekeepers and those interested in getting started with beekeeping can find a local beekeeping club in Michigan.
