Here is a class for you honey enthusiasts! Join Sheri Burns as she talks about honey — how bees get it, how they pollinate, what types of flowers do they pollinate? Why is some honey light while other honey is dark? Learn about what’s in honey and how it’s beneficial to people (do YOU know where those beneficial enzymes come from?). Watch an extraction demonstration and see how it’s stored. Learn how to cook and bake with honey. And did you know there are other medicinal uses for honey?
Registration is required. Seating is limited.
This class will take place this year on Sat., Oct 29 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. Not just for beekeepers but for anyone who enjoys honey (age 12 and up).
The workshop will take place at the Training Center of honeybeesonline.com which is located at 14556 N 1020 East Rd in Fairmount IL (30 min east of Champaign-Urbana). Off Exit #206 Oakwood, go south into town. At second stop sign (about 5 miles out in country) turn left. At 2nd country road (1020 East) turn left. Go down about 1/2 mile, you will see our signs.
