Beekeeping Classes at BioFuel Oasis Ongoing through September The BioFuel Oasis, 1441 Ashby Ave., Berkeley The BioFuel Oasis has a comprehensive program of beekeeping classes. They are directed specifically at backyard beekeepers with just a few hives. Our program will teach you how to keep your hive healthy and alive over many winters. We recommend that you, as a backyard beekeeper, inspect your hive(s) every 2-3 weeks from March-September and monitor varroa mite levels, as this keeps the entire bee population in the East Bay healthier and stronger. It will also give you the tools and knowledge to keep your hive alive and if it does die, to know the reason why.
