The learning curve on beekeeping can be long and steep. Start your beekeeping adventure the right way by learning the fundamentals from MABA’s panel of experts. We welcome anyone who is interested in learning about honey bees, even if a hive is not in your immediate future.
Setting up new hives must be done in the spring, generally from March to May. This course is offered in February to give potential beekeepers time to order bees and equipment and prepare an apiary site. Since the course takes place in February, our classroom course does not involve live bees. During the spring and summer months, hands-on experiences with live bees are available to all MABA Intro to Beekeeping course students through our hive inspection program.
