Begin in the Farm Clubhouse, where Steve and Chad will describe how to start your own apiary and then move to the apiary and open a hive (extra protective suits are available). The hope is to convince participants that this is hard, interesting, lots of fun, and well worth doing.

You will learn about how to connect with other beekeepers, learn more, and develop a support team. Steve’s beekeeper and good friend, Chad, will assist him. “He knows a lot more than I do,” says Steve. If you are interested in starting your own hive, Chad and Steve will gladly assist; however, you will need to wait until next spring, when they typically start new hives.

The cost is $10/class or $50/all 8 classes. It is available for free to military veterans, but also available for free to anyone interested in trading the cost for 8 volunteer hours.
