  Beekeeping 101 is an introductory class that will give beginners a glimpse into the secret lives of honeybees. The class includes instruction, discussions, and suiting up to inspect the hives in the bee yard, weather permitting. We invite guests to take the class more than once, as there’s always something new happening in the hive. Recommended for ages 8+.

  1. Free!
  2. ONLINE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED, INCLUDING GUESTS. NO DROP-INS OR EXTRA PEOPLE, PLEASE.
  3. No prior experience is needed.
  4. Wear long thick, loose, lighter colored pants; closed-toed shoes, preferably BOOTS; and thick long socks. For safety reasons, persons without proper coverage (e.g. wearing shorts, leggings, sandals, booty socks, etc.) will not be permitted to participate in the hive inspection. 
  5. Please bring drinking water.
  6. Please provide loaner bee jacket size at the time of registration.
  7. Minimum age is 8 years old.
     
  8. Be aware: there is always a possibility of bee stings. 

  NOTE REGARDING SPACE: Beekeeping 101 is currently offered twice a month, at two separate apiaries. Space is limited and the classes fill very quickly. Reserve your spot by registering now. Once the class fills, you will be able to join the wait list. We will notify you if a space opens up, or you will get priority registration for the next Beekeeping 101. For children under 8yo, please contact us to be placed on the list for our next "Beekeeping 101 for Kids" class.

  Registration for Zaferia Junction opens November 20. Wait list from the previous session will get priority registration.
