Blog About HBL -- Natural / Organic Beekeeping – Winter Weekend Workshops This two-day class will introduce students to Natural/Organic Beekeeping with a Biodynamic influence. You will come away with the knowledge, as well as the inspiration to nurture your honeybees and respect these hardworking, gentle creatures who live in complex and beautiful communities. We encourage beginners to take both days to obtain a broad understanding of the responsibilities and challenges entailed in this undertaking, so you can be knowledgable, loving and confidant beekeepers. These classes can be taken on one weekend, or divided into Saturday one weekend and Sunday another weekend. The Sunday class will be helpful to beginning and experienced beekeepers. We can help you obtain bees and we suggest you wait until after the class to purchase your equipment so you have a better understanding of your choices. The cost of the two day class is $200, and a single day class is available for $110.
