Location: In the classroom at the Extension service-- 600 N. Main St. Woodstock. (the old Central High School Building).
Come in the front door, turn down the right hall, take 10 giant steps- the classroom is on your left.
The cost of the class this year will be $90.00. That includes all members of your family who wish to come.
Cash or check- bring this to the first class- no credit cards.
What you get: 8 weekly sessions-classroom instruction--Last session scheduled for May 2, 2015.
your books
a disc with the lessons on it as well as reference material
a mentor (your mentor is a volunteer- is not paid)
after you have taken the class, you can audit any of the classes(see below) anywhere, for as many years as you want to.
Our Woodstock class includes 4 'field sessions'- these will be on the days of class #2,#4,#6, and #7.
This class is taught (different instructors) in many locations in Virginia, and now in West Virginia.
You can see these locations by googling "Practical Beekeeping for Beginners Northern Virginia Teaching Consortium".
The newest location is Farmville, Va- this is not even on this year's list- it is so new.
This class is the work product of Billy Davis, beekeeper extraordinaire and EAS certified Master Beekeeper- begun 20 years ago. The classes are "tweaked" every year- and stay abreast of up-to-date information.
You can learn more about Billy Davis (Loudoun County, Va.) by going to "Sustainable Honeybee Program" website.
