WASBA Apprentice Beekeeping Class

Our next class is from October 21, 2024 – November 23, 2024

The Apprentice Beekeeping Course is designed for someone who has had at least one year of hands-on beekeeping, has taken the Beginning Beekeeping class, and wants to learn more about honey bees and best beekeeping management practices. While the Beginning Beekeeping Course provides basic information for the person making up their mind if they want to start keeping bees, the Apprentice Course is for those who want more in-depth information about beekeeping.

This 5-week course is all online with weekly videos, reading assignments, tests, and a 1-hour Zoom meeting (depending on questions, it could go a bit longer) each Saturday at 11:30 AM. The course fee is $60, which covers the instruction, your materials, a WASBA certificate, and a 1-year membership in the Washington State Beekeeping Association. The first assignment will be emailed out on October 21st, and the first Zoom meeting will be on October 26th.
