This 1-day intensive course quickly reviews all the information provided in the Basic course (offered in March). This course is for experienced beekeepers only, and for people that have already taken the Basics course and need a refresher course. The main focus will be on wintering your colonies and on making divides in spring to prevent swarming. We will also give the latest updates on disease and mite management and control, emphasizing a reduction in chemical use within bee hives. All questions will be answered.

This course is for experienced beekeepers only, and for people that have taken the Basics course in the past and need a refresher course.  If you just took the basics course in March wait until next year to take this class. First time beekeepers: please register for the Basic course, held in March.  Thank you!
