Becoming a Beekeeper

Beekeeping in Piedmont North Carolina can offer some sweet rewards, but it requires a year-round commitment to achieve success, and most importantly, to keep honey bees healthy and productive. What basic equipment is needed to get started? What predators, diseases and parasites have the greatest impact on local hives? What varieties of honey bees are best adapted for North Carolina? Learn the answers to these questions, plus where to go for the most current information and support to promote a positive outcome for both bees and beginning beekeepers. Join Phyllis Baker Smith, Natural Resources Agent for N.C. Cooperative Extension, Forsyth County Center, for this in-person, interactive program. Questions? pbsmith4@ncsu.edu
