Beekeeping classes are set to start at the Marion County Extension Office on January 17th. Craig Greene runs the classes in Marion County. He says that the classes will offer basic understanding of beekeeping, including what equipment you’ll need, how to get started, how to keep the bees alive, and more. He says that apiculture is an addicting hobby, and one with no end. Bees are very intriguing animals, according to Greene. Classes will be on Tuesdays at 6:30 starting on January 17th and run for seven weeks at the Marion County Extension Office. For more information, contact Greene at 641-842-2112.
