Do not waste your money and time on "online beekeeping courses". There are tons of these types of classes available on YouTube. You can watch them for free & learn at your own pace. Shoot a text message, we will send you some links.
​​
Do not waste your money & time on group beekeeping workshops. Participants' age group varies from 16 to 70 years old. Meaning these classes are either too slow and boring or too fast for most participants.
​​
The most effective way to learn beekeeping is a one-to-one session. We invite you to our apiary, where we have 10-15 hives in various stages from small to giant-sized colonies. There is no boring paper and writing stuff. We believe in learning by doing. We go through multiple colonies together to experience different scenarios you may have during your beekeeping journey. Some of the hives are making queens, some are set for honey productions, and some are getting ready to split. You will see the difference between weak and strong colonies, what a healthy colony looks like, how to conduct the weekly beekeeping inspection, how to spot if your hive has a healthy queen, when a hive becomes overcrowded when to start honey production, when can you split your hive. You learn all these things when we are inspecting different hives together. The success rate of one-to-one beekeeping mentoring is relatively higher than the first two mentioned types. It is due to the high-quality interactions, an individual program designed for you, more attention and timing, the opportunity to ask all your questions, modify the classes for your needs, direct interaction with the professional beekeeper, keeping track of your progress, avoiding distraction during the class, flexible schedule and timing, less stress, more enjoyable environment.
