Great news! My good friend and I have started teaching sustainable beekeeping in top bar hives on the University of Copenhagen. Two weeks ago it started with a power point presentation and yesterday we begun building the university's first top bar hive :) This course will last until October.

Next week we will be making an observation window and painting the hive as well as placing it in the right location away from passersby. We have 27 students so far and it seems they are enjoying it. In about 2 weeks we are buying a bee colony and the buzzing journey will begin :)
Sounds like a wonderful endeavor! It's great to hear about young people getting into beekeeping.Today, I went to my local beekeeping meeting, and I estimate that 98% of the people there were over the age of 50. If bees are going to survive and thrive, we need to get younger people involved. Kudos to you!
