SUMMARY:Central Texas Beekeepers School
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to produce your own honey and help save the bees by attending the Thirteenth Annual Central Texas Beekeepers School on Saturday\, March 1\, 2025 at Brenham High School in Brenham.   The school is open to the public for anyone interested in keeping bees or who wants to learn about bees.\n\nProvide your family with this natural sweetener\, increase the number of bees to help pollinate our gardens and help the dwindling bee population by raising bees in your back yard\, even in populated areas.  Most cities allow at least two bee hives per home depending on the size of your lot.  You can contact your city offices for regulations in your area. \n\nThe beekeeping school will teach you the parts of the hive\, how to build or assemble your equipment\, how to install bees\, the proper procedure for lighting a smoker and how to inspect your bees.  You will learn how to dress to minimize the possibility of being stung and what to do if you are stung.\n\nYou will see how to extract honey and how to care for it before you eat it or give it to your family or friends.  Weather permitting\, you can even "suit up" and be present while a live bee hive is opened and inspected.  Early admission to the school is $100 for the first adult and $90 for additional adults in the family.  Active and retired military will be $80.  Cost for students above 12 (including college students) is $40.  Children under the age of 12 attending classes with a parent are $25.  Registration fees increase after Feb. 27.  "Walk Up" registration the day of the school will be $120.  All local and state Covid protocols at the time of the school will be observed.  We will monitor the health situation and will keep registrants informed.\n\nThe school starts at 8:00 a.m. and will be over at 4:30 p.m.  The cost of the school includes a catered Bar-B-Q meal with Blue Bell Ice Cream and a "school book" with information about beekeeping.  Door prizes and a drawing for a complete bee hive will be held at 4:15 p.m. \n\nTo register go to:   www.tinyurl.com/2025BeeSchool.
