Success StoryBeekeeping Basics



Beekeeping Basics

Author: Regina Utz

Planning Unit: Kenton County CES

Major Program: Beekeeping

Plan of Work: Enhance Life Skills and Build Consumer Awareness

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Trimble County Extension Service determined there was a need for a Beekeeping Basics program based on agricultural survey responses. The President of the Oldham County Beekeepers Association led the group of 34 individuals through a variety of uses for bees and bee products.  Due to the wealth of knowledge the speaker possessed participants began to explore new opportunities they were unaware of in working with bees. The speaker brought in equipment that attendees were able to observe and handle.  While the target audience was new beekeepers, there were also seasoned beekeepers in attendance.  The discussion between everyone there created a wonderful opportunity for new and experienced participants to share with each other valuable information.  One of the seasoned participants commented, “You can never learn too much about beekeeping!”

Completed surveys indicated that half of the attendees are interested in forming a Beekeeping Association in Trimble County and that  8 individuals had attended an extension program before.  The Trimble County Beekeeping Association will be a new addition to the county agricultural offerings.
