The Chesapeake Forum is abuzz over “Life Cycle of the Honey Bee & Becoming a Beekeeper,” a new course by first-time instructor, Lisa Hamlin, on Friday, April 22nd. In this one-session, in-person course, Hamlin will unlock the mysteries of the honey bee, discussing its lifecycle and the critical role it plays in the environment. She’ll also review the basics of beekeeping and beekeeping equipment.
The highlight of the class will be the installation of a new package of bees in a new hive in a St Michaels yard. See first-hand how bees are introduced to the new hive and watch their activity as they settle in. Precise address will be provided after registration.
Lisa Hamlin has been beekeeping for 20 years, trained and mentored by her father, a lover of all pollinators. Professionally, she is a CPA in Annapolis. She is hoping to spread understanding of the importance of providing a varied habitat for the bees and the birds.
