The next "Practical beekeeping" course will begin January 11, 2000 at the
Huntsville Botanical Garden in Huntsville, Al.   The class is split into two
sections.

Sections 1 consist of 5 one and one half-hour classroom lectures (one of
which is devoted to the building wood ware and installing foundation.   This
equipment will be used section 2).   The class meets from 6:30 PM to 8:00
PM, every other Tuesday (starting Jan 11).

Section 2 starts around March 18, 2000 and ends around September 16, 2000.
It meets every other Saturday morning at 9:30 AM in the Botanical Garden
apiary.   Section 2 is a "hands on" application of the class room knowledge.
The students install one package of bees, make one split and monitor the
progress of 6 colonies through the entire summer, add supers, harvest honey
and medicate for winter.    (Sessions change to once a month when production
supers are added)

The Huntsville Botanical Garden is located at 4747 Bob Wallace Ave, in
