Beekeeping Class · July 10, 2027 · Madison, Wisconsin
The Wisconsin State Beekeepers Association hosts this hands-on mid-summer workshop at the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, timed to coincide with peak nectar flows from clover, alfalfa, and basswood across the state. Attendees rotate through apiary management stations covering queen rearing, varroa monitoring, honey extraction best practices, and Wisconsin-specific late-summer preparation techniques. The workshop includes a honey judging demonstration, tasting of Wisconsin's diverse varietal honeys — including basswood, buckwheat, and cranberry blossom — and a vendor fair featuring equipment suppliers. Perfect for intermediate beekeepers looking to sharpen skills before the fall management season.
