Getting Started with Beekeeping session
Have you wondered if beekeeping is right for you? Have you considered keeping honey bees to produce your own, local honey? Honey bees are awe-inspiring, but keeping them healthy takes a lot of learning and hard work. Before you get started, find out what costs, time, and effort are required. Learn what beekeepers do and where they can go for resources and support.
We all benefit from a healthy pollinator population. You don’t need to become a beekeeper to help take care of our bees! This presentation will also cover pollinator diversity, issues that bees are facing, and what people can do to support pollinator health.
Join the Michigan Family Farms Conference, hosted by Michigan Food & Farming System, for a presentation by Ana Heck, Apiculture Extension Educator at Michigan State University on how to get started with beekeeping. The conference will be held on Saturday, February 25, 2023 from 9:00 AM to 4:45 PM at KVCC, Texas Township Campus, 6767 West O Avenue, Kalamazoo, MI 49009.
