Teaching

I have been teaching hands-on beekeeping classes and workshops for twenty-five years, nearly all of them here in Northern Arizona, including on Hopi Tribal lands. Often these are organized as a summer workshop series, meaning that we hold four different but related four-hour workshops about every three or four weeks between late May and mid-August.

The advantage of the four-part summer workshop series is that participants get to observe and participate in how a colony expands and contracts from late spring through the middle of our annual "monsoon" season.

I also offer single one to four hour classes about specific beekeeping skills, like working successfully with more defensive South Africanized honeybee colonies or "going fishing" for swarms with "lure" hives.
