Join us for Bee School, hosted at beautiful Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, NC. This course offers a solid foundation for starting and maintaining healthy honey bee colonies.
Participants will experience:
- Classroom learning with expert instructors covering bee biology, seasonal management, equipment basics, honey production, and common challenges like pests and diseases.
- Hands-on demonstrations to help you gain confidence in hive inspections, handling equipment, and making beekeeping decisions.
- Guidance from experienced local beekeepers who share practical tips, personal stories, and lessons learned from years in the apiary.
- A supportive community where you can connect with fellow beginners, ask questions, and begin building your beekeeping network.
- Resources to continue learning, including opportunities to join the Buncombe County Beekeepers Club, attend workshops, and connect with mentors throughout the season.
Bee School is the perfect first step to becoming a successful beekeeper in Western North Carolina.
