One of two hands on learning opportunities.
Whether you have kept bees for many years, 1 or 2 years or haven’t started yet, this beekeeping course is designed to assist you on your personal beekeeping journey. Each honey bee colony has its own personality and needs. Each beekeeper is equally unique. Our class format is designed to assist you personally. Honey bees experience life differently than us. We will look at how they experience life throughout the year. You will become acquainted with how they make decisions in each season. This insight will lead you a better understanding of their problems, while giving you tools for evaluating advice. The class is here to help you, so bring lots of questions. All of them will be addressed.

Ask Google or any beekeeper a question and you can expect a million or so answers. We aren’t lacking information for successful beekeeping. You can read three different solutions to a problem. All three can be correct, yet none of them may be appropriate for you. It is difficult deciphering all this advice. It takes a lifetime of experience to fully grasp the complex social structure of honey bees and another lifetime finding good solutions to address the countless situations they find themselves in! Using the collective experience from knowledgeable beekeepers can be an essential ingredient for your success. A six week course can’t possibly address all that you’ll encounter. Instead, we provide guiding insights so you can evaluate this information. That way, you can make the best decisions possible.
