Honey bees can be managed with ease by urban people. Besides the
honey and bees wax they produce, and their value as pollinators of
various crops, their highly developed social organization provides
fascinating material for study.
This series of lectures and demonstrations will deal with the nature
of beekeeping; the life history, anatomy, and social behaviour of bees;
economics; how to manage colonies of bees; equipment and site selection;
pollen and nectar producing plants, nectar flows; seasonal management ;
pests, parasites diseases and their control; regulations; honey houses;
extracting equipment; grading and marketing honey and beeswax.
The University reserves the right to cancel any course and refund full
fee, and to reschedule classes cancelled due to unavoidable
circumstances.
