Have you thought about keeping bees? 

This is the opportunity to learn more about these vital and fascinating creatures providing so much of our food. The instructors have over 50 years of experience among them.

You will learn about:
  • Bee biology
  • The natural history of honeybees
  • The treatment of bee diseases
  • Hive management
  • Bee equipment
  • How to explore the Internet for legitimate educational resources
    And more!
Note: A portion of your registration will be donated to the Vermont Beekeepers Association!
