If you are thinking about becoming an amateur beekeeper, there are many things to learn before embarking on this hobby. Our bee school is a combination of hands-on and lecture led discussions that will teach you all you need to learn for this fascinating subject.

Over the course of approximately seven weeks students learn from more experienced beekeepers how to: build a hive, introduce the bees to their new environment, keeping the bees healthy throughout the whole year (winter too), working with bees and not getting stung, and maximizing their honey yields.

Bee School is perfect for people who are interested in bees and beekeeping. This is the course that will help you decide whether beekeeping is for you.

Classes will be held beginning on Tuesday Feb 6th, running from 7:00 pm until approximately 9:00 pm in the Cafeteria at the Norfolk County Agricultural High School in Walpole, MA. Class dates will be 2/6, 2/13, 2/27, 3/6, 3/20, 3/27, 4/3 and 4/10, with a field demonstration TBA weather and bees depending.
