Come Learn with us!
Taking up beekeeping means you are committing to a lifelong pursuit of knowledge. As lifelong learners our pursuit of understanding the world of bees will never end. We offer courses for every type of beekeeper both new and experienced. Check out our single-meeting courses designed to provide the very basics of beekeeping, advanced management or focused education on a variety of topics in an easy to digest format.
