Our classes for beginner beekeepers are carefully designed to give you the knowledge, skill and experience you will need to start and maintain your own bee colony.  Divided into seven modules and spread across the beekeeping season you will learn how to care for your bees in every season.  At this time we offer classes in two locations please register early as we limit class numbers to 15 persons to ensure personal attention to every student.
