Lauren Tackbary

Lauren Tackbary, a local beekeeper, teaches beginner beekeeping classes in Berkeley. This class is great for new beekeepers on how to get started in beekeeping and maintain a hive throughout the year. The class is 4 hours and the first half is a lecture to learn all about beekeeping before you inspect the hives, and the second half you will spend inspecting the hives. The classes are small so everyone has a chance to practice working in the hives. Protective clothing is provided as well as a workbook you take home. Please see the link below for detailed information on dates, times, and pricing.
