University of Georgia

You’ll have to learn about the birds elsewhere, but three
upcoming workshops will teach you all about the bees.

Atlanta-area beekeeper associations are offering a series of
one-day courses, “An Introduction to Honeybees and Beekeeping.”
Attendees will learn the basics about honeybees, plant
pollination, Africanized honeybees and beekeeping.

The course will be especially valuable to students, teachers,
Master Gardeners, beginning and hobbyist beekeepers and anyone
interested in learning new things.

When, where

The program will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. on a
Saturday. The same program will be at three sites:

• Feb. 4 at the Asa M. Powell Expo Center in Newnan, Ga.
• Feb. 11 at First Methodist Church in Morrow, Ga.
• Feb. 18 at the Chattahoochee Nature Center in Roswell, Ga.

The $45 fee is the same in advance or at the door. It covers
morning coffee, lunch, educational materials and instruction by
the University of Georgia entomology faculty and master
beekeepers.
