January 2024 - Register for Beginning Beekeeper Course
Taught by master and hobbyist beekeepers in both classroom and apiary settings, this one-day course is designed to impart the fundamentals of beekeeping to anyone interested in learning about honey bees.
For beekeepers, the process of establishing new beehives typically occurs in the spring, typically between March and May. We offer this course at the beginning of the year to afford potential beekeepers ample time for preparation. This preparation encompasses tasks such as ordering bees and equipment, as well as selecting a suitable site for the hive.
While our course primarily takes place in a classroom setting, we will dedicate a portion of our day to the apiary, weather permitting. Additionally, a 2024 Tara Beekeepers Association membership is included, providing new beekeepers with further opportunities for mentorship through our monthly meetings in East Point, facilitated by experienced beekeepers.
