Want to become a beekeeper or learn how you can help honeybees? Join us at our 2025 Beginner Beekeeper Course! This course will be hybrid classes (in-person and through Zoom). Non-locals encouraged to attend via Zoom!

Eversweet Apiaries will be teaching a four part course on the fundamentals of beekeeping. Eversweet’s Beginner Beekeeper Course will provide you with a solid foundation to begin your beekeeping journey. Over 12 hours of instructional time! These courses are also great for beekeepers who have already taken a beginner’s course who might need refreshing on some bee education.
