For anyone interested, I have already completed 4 theory sessions. Great sessions with very experienced teachers who are also very good communicators. Sessions taught us the life of the honeybee, setting up an apiary, managing colony, and the most important session around swarm control.
One of the instructors demonstrated the bees waggle dance by doing the dance. Wish I had my camera, that would have made been a you tube sensation.
As long as I don't have to do the waggle dance, I should be fine, hope its not needed to pass the basic beekeeping exam:)
They had a miniuture to scale hive, very small but complete in every detail including brood chamber, floor, supers, frames, roof. My kids would love one of these, I'll need to find out where they got this from.
Hopefully now when I read a couple of beekeeping books I have it will make a bit more sense. Not counting on it though :).
