2023 Beekeeping Classes

Even if you have been keeping bees for years, a class can give you new ideas and new enthusiasm for the art and science of beekeeping. This Beginner Beekeeping class will cover skills everyone uses every year, so you may want to try it out.

Topics include: choosing equipment, where to get bees, locating a place for your hives, bee biology, nectar plants, feeding, supering, swarming, fall management, winter prep, basic disease and pest ID and management, and hive products. This series is for people who range from just starting out to those who have had bees for years but are not confident with the bees, or are in a cycle of annual hive death.

Cost of Class: $85
Capacity: 35
