Beekeeping for vocational agriculture students

Much information is available in the field of Apiculture, some technical and some practical. It would appear, however, that there is justification for an attempt to provide information of a practical nature for use in high school Vocational Agricultural classes. Available publications either are too comprehensive or do not contain sufficient material for students of Vocational Agriculture who wish to study beekeeping. It is the intent of this thesis to consolidate and organize factual information for class use by teachers, to suggest a few student problems and activities, and to develop a course calendar of units for study. A detailed discussion of only one type of honey production is presented; but from this type (bulk-comb honey) any other form of honey production may be developed.
