This seven-part course provides information and hands-on opportunities for the beginner beekeeper. Led by experienced apiarists, the course walks participants through the active bee season from April to October.

Participants will learn about helpful hive equipment and materials, perform status checks of active hives, assess the health of the queen, control for pests and diseases, harvest honey, and prepare hives for winter.

Each session contains both in-class learning and hands-on experience in the bee yard with experts. Veils and jackets available on request.
