COVINGTON TOWNSHIP &#8211; The Lackawanna College Environmental Education Center is accepting registrations for the next In-Person Beginner Beekeeping Certificate which will begin April 1, 2021.
				This is an in-person class that will follow CDC guidelines including: required masks, ample spacing in a large lecture hall, and outdoor hands-on lessons in the apiary as weather permits.
				The program was designed to support both new and seasoned beekeepers through an entire apiary year. Participants will learn about honey bee biology, beekeeping equipment, apiary production, and environmental challenges. By the end of this course, participants will be able to manage honey bee colonies for maximum bee health and honey production. Upon successful completion of the course, students will earn a certificate in beekeeping.
				Classes start April 1 and will run every other Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. until June 3. The cost is $250 for the certificate which includes 10 sessions.
