The Cooperative Extension Service is introducing a new resource that targets beginning beekeepers, said Jon Zawislak, extension assistant professor in apiculture and urban entomology.

“'Beekeeping in Arkansas’ is an all-purpose introduction to small-scale beekeeping,” Zawislak said. “This publication is recommended for anyone who is considering getting into beekeeping. At 32 pages, it looks like a lot of information, but it is a basic introduction to the main concepts. 

“It will give the curious a starting point to decide if they want to learn more or learn enough for them to know that beekeeping is more than they want to take on right now,” he said. “It was written to be a printed companion to the online video short course.” ∆
