Beginning Beekeeper’s Class
I took this class last year and obtained my equipment through Maple Mountain bees. It has proven to be a fun and rewarding experience for my family and I. The 60lbs. of honey we got our first year wasn’t bad either!

I would like to know what the price is for the bees, and how much is expected as a deposit. Are you selling start up kits (hives, gear, etc.) or just the bees?
I would suggest emailing the contact at [email protected], as we ourselves aren't running this class, just linking to a useful local group that is providing it.
