UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH; GUELPH, ONTARIO
 
BEE COURSE "ONE OF A KIND "
 
Bees covering great distances is a well-documented fact. But
beekeepers can "go the distance" now too. That's because the
University of Guelph provides a unique learning opportunity to know
"everything about bees" via its distance learning course, THE
COMPLETE BEEKEEPER.
 
    All the latest information about bees and beekeeping is available
in this one comprehensive and concise package of video and print
materials. From bee biology to getting started at beekeeping to
diseases and pollination, this course covers the territory.
 
    THE COMPLETE BEEKEEPER is unlike conventional education
programs; it is designed for people who need a flexible learning
schedule. This course is for those who want or need to learn at home
or at work,independently. With an interactive approach to both the
video material and the course manual, the course is self directed.
People learn where they prefer and what they need to when it is
convenient for them. ( it's just like reading a magazine and watching
informative TV).
 
    Over 30 photographs and 90 diagrams enhance the easy to use
manual. Thirteen fact-filled chapters, supplemental information
and a videotape, TROUBLESHOOTING IN THE BEE YARD- all produced by
Independent Study/OAC ACCESS at Guelph- make this course a must for
anyone involved in the beekeeping business who wants to know more on
their terms. Some of the topics covered in "The Complete Beekeeper"
are: pollen collection, working with bees, swarming, harvesting the
honey, marketing the honey, diseases and pests, hive products like
beeswax and royal jelly, and managing bees for crop pollination.
 
    For people wanting to earn an academic credit toward the "Ontario
Diploma in Horticulture", success requires completion of three mail-
in assignments that learners complete at their own pace and return to
the University of Guelph for assessment.
 
    The videotape presents ten bee yard scenarios. In each, the
viewer is asked to answer specific questions using Video Worksheets
(included with the course). In the final three scenarios, students
complete the Video Worksheets and include them with the final mail-in
assignment.
 
    THE COMPLETE BEEKEEPER is a completely unique learning
opportunity in North America. Nothing else like it exists to
help people learn - via distance learning - everything about keeping
bees. The course plus video costs $225.00. (Price is subject to
change.)
