Listen up, listen up, all you locavores, gardeners and apiculturist! My friend Joan and her husband Rich Wieske of Green Toe Gardens (Wild Detroit Honey) are putting on a one-day, natural beekeeping workshop on March 6 in Detroit. The workshop, All About Bees!, has been designed for the novice to the expert and will feature many well-known speakers from around the Midwest. The workshop will include sessions on:
- Beekeeping 101
- How to Build a Beehive
- Honey Tasting
- Meadmaking
- Bees and Spirituality
- Biodynamics
- How to Develop a Honey Coop
- Bees and City Hall
- Apitherapy
- Bees as Part of Community Development
The fee for the workshop is only $20 and includes a light breakfast (bring or buy your own lunch). Stay tuned to http://www.citybeesdetroit.com/ for updates (the official site should launch tonight). Also, be sure to check out Kim Bayer’s Edible WOW article on Rich and his urban beekeeping operation. Hope to see you at the workshop!
