Beekeeping

Author: Jay Hettmansperger

Planning Unit: Boyle County CES

Major Program: Beekeeping

Plan of Work: Improving Agricultural Income

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Education in beekeeping is a never ending program. Covid has slowed in-person meetings, but hasn't slowed the questions and interest in beekeeping. Clientele have noticed the beehives located beside the Garrard County Extension office and have made numerous inquiries about beekeeping.  The ANR agent put in 2 beehives 2 years ago to bee able to put on classes and to educate himself about beekeeping. While large in-person classes have been impossible, phone calls and one on one teaching moments have continued. The 2 hives have been very helpful in demonstrating how to manage a healthy hive. The local agent has been able to show local beekeepers in real life what to do when presented with a situation in their own personal hives. Numerous clientele have gained valuable knowledge about beekeeping and honey production. More programs are expected when the Covid restrictions are lifted.
