About the Seminar: 

To understand honey bee biology, you have to know what the colony's goals are.

Most beekeepers start out by taking a beginner's class that might have included up to an hour on honey bee biology. A lot of information is presented at these courses, and most attendees don't absorb nor understand all that was taught.

This presentation will cover everything from basic bee anatomy to the more advanced biology of the hive. The more you know about the biology of hive, the better and more successful a beekeeper you will become.

The honey bee colony has two main goals. This presentation will explain what they are and help you understand how they achieve them.
