I have some news to tell you. I start lessons in university for beekeeping and I am very happy about this.I am not normal student there, but I will follow the lessons with the students of agronomic.

Let's see what we can find inside

As you can see the students don’t wear beekeeping uniforms. They give us only beekeeping hats. It was the first time I wear beekeeping hat and it was funny The hats were only for the students, the professor didn’t wear anything .

In my area (the area of Macedonia in Greece) we have the Macedonian bee (Apis mellifera macedonica) and as they told me it’s more… calm bee. Well I am not sure yet about this, I will find it in the next month.

The beehives we open this time they had a problem with varroa and the beekeeper wanted the help of professor, so he bring the beehives in university farm.

The spring it’s the best time if you want to start lessons for beekeeping. The bees need warm weather to fly, so you can expect them in your gardens when you have at least 10°C (or 50°F). Now they need many pollen to feed their new offsprings because they must expand their colony. These offsprings will make the honey of the year.
