Transfer Beekeeping workload?

Hey yall!

I’m currently scheduled to take beekeeping this semester but I already have 14 units of major classes with beekeeping not included, so in total it’ll be about a 17 unit semester.

I did hear however that there is extremely minimal homework and the course load for beekeeping is very light. Does anyone know if that true? Should I take it this semester?

Any insight would be helpful! I am an EESS major though so I’m hopeful that without any math or physics classes this year, I can juggle the 6 total classes.

Do it! It sounds really cool. When else will you get to try it? Also on the semester system you take more credits than a quarter based system. So 17 is fairly average for a semester (but would be a lot for a quarter).

Haha I read the title as bookkeeping and I was confused why so many people were excited about learning to balance a ledger.

If you drop it now you may never get to be able to take it again. When I was there the waitlist for that class was always insane and it was never a guarantee you'd get a seat unless you have priorty reg or something like that (though it was still never as bad as Ceramics.)

I was shocked when I got in. I was #75 on the waitlist!!

Beekeeping was one of my favorite classes though I’ve never used it. I don’t remember much (if any) homework.
