Primal Bee Hives & Basic BeeKeeping 101
Jan 10, 2027
From: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Live hive observation and lessons in honeybee behavior introduce the practical foundations of beekeeping at Patch of Heaven Sanctuary. Taking place Sunday, January 10, 2027, this beginner-friendly workshop is led by entomologist Dr. Jason Graham. No previous beekeeping experience is required.
The program covers honeybee biology, hive structure, beekeeping tools and basic colony management, including seasonal care. Participants will also explore the role of pollinators in ecosystems and have opportunities to ask questions about tending a hive and supporting bee habitats.
Graham holds a doctorate in entomology from the University of Florida and brings approximately 25 years of experience studying bees and their environments. His research has addressed honeybee health, native bee conservation and endangered pollinators in Hawaii, and he serves as a scientific contributor to Primal Bee.
The workshop is offered for a $75 donation, with lunch, a pen and a notebook included for each participant.
