Beginner Bee Keeping Class March 30, 2025 10AM-12PM

March 30 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

$75.00

Join Eric for a two hour introductory class on the benefits of keeping bees, equipment needs, hive parts, native plants that support bee colonies, and the beneficial products that can be sourced from your hive.

Each participant will take home a jar of our wild flower honey. We will also provide all participants a tour of our farm and time to interact with the goats, miniature donkeys, farm kitties, livestock guardian dogs, chickens, and any brand new goat babies! Please note that participants will not handle bees nor be near active hives during the class.

Sting Free is the goal! You will get to play with and interact with the beekeeping equipment. We will not be interacting with the bees in the hives for this introductory beginner class but you will get to see our apiary and set-up from a distance.

The farm is located approximately 3 miles North of Highway 20 on Farwell Bridge Road. You will know you have reached the farm when you see the small metal goat head sign. GPS will take you directly to the farm.
