Designed for new beekeepers who have their own hive, our 90-minute lessons are one-on-one instruction from Justin Jacobeen, a Certified Master Beekeeper with 10 years experience. He’ll come to you and let you learn at your own pace, with your own bees and equipment. There are many styles of beekeeping — we follow a curriculum or work on whatever your hives need, and help you develop the methods that work best for you. Day, evening, and some weekend times available.
