You have made it through installation, treatments, extraction, and many other ups and downs this year, now comes the final test—preparing for winter! Overwintering your bees is vastly important to building your hive numbers and keeping your beekeeping venture profitable and sustainable. In this learning series we will cover the lead up to winter and the various tasks that are required to overwinter your hives, and even cover a few that are optional.

On the second Saturday of every month, the learning series will teach education credits on topics from the Great Plains Master Beekeeping program. The learning series will provide knowledge gain on curriculum not covered in basic workshops and will expand on specific subjects. Learning series courses are two hours long and feature hands-on activities, lecture, and Q&A.
