    Beekeeping and gardening go hand in hand, yet raising honeybees may seem intimidating to beginners. Anne Brennan will explain how she got started and how you can, too. Learn about the best location for your hive, the equipment you’ll need to get started, where to get the bees, several methods for harvesting wax and honey, and how to avoid some common pitfalls. Anne will walk you through a beekeeper’s typical first year so you know what to expect, and she’ll tell you what local resources are available to help you succeed. Start planning now so you’re ready for bees in early spring! Plenty of time will be allotted for discussion—please be prepared to ask questions. Anne has raised honeybees at home for four years. This class meets at the Horticulture Center. Enter Bloomfield Farm, across Northwestern Avenue from the public garden entrance. Park in the lot and follow the signs to the Hort Center.  Instructor Anne Brennan Former Horticulturist, Morris Arboretum
