Central Rivers Farmshed will be hosting a workshop about the fundamentals of beekeeping on Saturday, March 17th from 9am to 3pm. Instructor Buzz Vahradian will teach participants the fundamentals of beekeeping; providing a thorough overview for beginners with an interest in starting a hive and for others just fascinated with the lives of these super organisms.

Participants will learn about:

  • Diseases and Pests
  • Honey Harvest and Extraction
  • Properties of Honey

More about instructor Buzz Vahradian: Buzz is an experienced beekeeper and his farm (V’s Bees) is located in Wautoma, WI. They produce raw unpasteurized honey (actually, the bees do all the work). Their local nectar source is native wildflowers.
