Tomorrow (Friday) is the deadline to register for an online course on the basics of beekeeping through Carroll County Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach. The two-night class will be hosted via Zoom and led by ISU Agriculture Specialist, Zack Koopman. Beekeeping 101 was designed to introduce the fundamentals of managing a honeybee colony. The first session will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, March 15, and Koopman will review what kinds of equipment a new beekeeper would need and important decisions regarding starting a hive. The second session, slated for Monday, March 22, will teach participants about managing a hive and how to properly harvest honey. The class costs $5, and the preregistration deadline is Friday, March 12. Details on how to reserve your spot in Beekeeping 101 can be found included below.
