Learn how to produce your own honey and help save the bees by attending the Twelfth Annual (COVID delayed) Central Texas Beekeepers School on Saturday, March 26 at Brenham High School in Brenham, Texas. The school is open to the public for anyone interested in keeping bees or who wants to learn about bees. Provide your family with this natural sweetener, increase the number of bees to help pollinate gardens and help the dwindling bee population by raising bees in your back yard, even in populated areas. Most cities allow at least two beehives per home depending on the size of your lot. Interested parties can contact your city offices for regulations in your area. The beekeeping school will teach students the parts of the hive, how to build or assemble equipment, how to install bees, the proper procedure for lighting a smoker and how to inspect bees. The school is located at 525 A H Ehrig Dr. in Brenham. For more information, call 979-277-0411 or email [email protected]. — Michael Kelling
