The Artisan Shop & Studio in Loveland has classes on the introduction to beekeeping for beginners. So if you have always thought it would be fun to have your own beehive from which you can harvest honey, but didn't know where to start, this may be the perfect class for you.

Beekeeping Classes in Northern Colorado

The beginner class for beekeeping at the Artisan Shop & Studio in Loveland will guide you through the importance of bees in pollination and ecosystem health, honeybee biology and behavior, hive equipment and tools, beehive management, beekeeping safety, harvesting and extracting honey, and sustainable beekeeping practices.

I always thought it would be awesome to have my own little beehive at my home. It would be a great way to pollinate the plants in the neighborhood all the while helping the bee population in Northern Colorado. Plus, it wouldn't be too shabby to have my curated supply of honey on hand either.
