This is great preparation course for the beginning beekeeper or bee enthusiast alike.  It is is an urban beekeeping course and is designed so that new beekeepers have the know-how and access to resources so that they can be responsible and successful city beekeepers. 

The course runs for six consecutive weeks.  After the completion of the course we extend one hands-on field day and one equipment setup day to help get the ball rolling.  The date for these components will be set depending on the weather towards the end of the course.  

Participants must attend at least five class sessions to be eligible for the certificate of completion. In addition to in class time participants will be expected to complete four short homework assignments and a comprehensive final exam.  Upon completion of the course and having fulfilled course requirements, participants will be presented with a certificate from the Bee CARE Institute. At this time the course does not carry academic credit.
