A full-day class teaching the use of Top Bar Bee Hives is being offered on March 7 at the 16th Annual Beginners Beekeeping School in Brenham. Top Bar Bee Hives are an alternate home for managing bees.
A Beekeeper examines bees in a Top Bar Hive. A class teaching about Top Bar Hives will be held on March 7 in Brenham, Texas.
Top Bar Hives are a natural way of raising bees without all the traditional equipment and without lifting heavy honey supers. They allow the beekeeper to harvest comb honey and eliminate the need to purchase additional equipment.
The class will start at 8 a.m. and be taught by Nathalie B. She is the owner of Bee Mindful Honey Farms in Driftwood, Texas (just southwest of Austin), and specializes in Top Bar Hives, beekeeping education, and bee consulting. The subject matter will include beginning beekeeping methods, the history of the Top Bar Hive, advantages of this type of hive, and basic care of the bees.
A Bar-B-Q meal is included with the school. Other types of beekeeping will also be taught in other classes and approximately 40 vendors will be present if you would like to purchase beekeeping equipment.
