Hi, everyone. Here are updates about our unique Commercial beekeeping
program.
*2012 Bee program*
This year's students are busy doing field work with commercial
beekeepers; they are learning and working hard! Eric Stromgren,
program instructor/coordinator, reports the queen rearing course
provided students with valuable, hands-on learning and that students
enjoyed the presentations and meeting beekeepers at the Beaverlodge
Field Day in June. By end of September, students will be back in class
for the second set of courses. They will also be touring Alberta
honey processors & packers in late October and attending the Alberta
Beekeepers Convention.
*Updates & Looking Ahead to 2013*
·We have made some changes to benefit student learning and increase
accessibility for international students. The revised program is one
week longer at 46 weeks; there are 23 weeks classroom study and 23
weeks of paid work experience. As before, the program starts in
January and runs through November.
·Attached document is the updated program information sheet. For

Our goal is a robust, current and practical program that will provide a
solid foundation for the next generation of beekeepers. We look forward
to having students from Alberta, from across Canada and from the world!
Please help us build awareness of this unique program--*/forward/share
as you can/*. Thanks!
