This hybrid course is designed to combine the advantages of both distance and hands-on education, with the theory taking place online via zoom and the practical lessons live.
What to expect?
We will be studying the biology and behavior of the honeybee, its annual life cycle and development, the diseases and enemies of bees as well as ways to combat them. We will also study the Greek beekeeping flora, the types and characteristics of Greek honeys and other hive products, allergies, the beekeeper's pharmacy and Greek legislation.
You will receive in electronic format detailed notes from the courses and for the practical courses we will provide you with the necessary equipment.
Hands-on training in the use of a beekeeper's basic tools, hive inspection, seasonal beekeeping operations, equipment preparation and care, and creating nucleus hives from existing ones.
