Want to be a Beekeeper? Learn Hands-On Free as a Volunteer!
Learn Beekeeping Free!
You read that right! No $50 or $100 “Bee School” cost for a school that is 1 day a week for about a month. Then, when your bees arrive you are on your own!
“Bee School” offered by most local Beekeeper Clubs are a great way to learn by way of classroom, videos and textbooks. Then, you MAY get to be involved in a “Hive Opening” or
Inspection.” Usually, you never get to actually touch the frames or anything. Just look and listen to the instructor. Once “Bee School” is over, it’s usually not for another month or two (at least) before your bees arrive. But, since you aren’t in bee school anymore, you are on your own to try to remember what you heard and read! Not at “Saving the Honeybees!” We do things differently here.
At “Saving the Honeybees” we are offering Learning/Volunteer Positions for 2 people.. Once every 2 weeks (sometimes a little longer and sometimes a little shorter) for 1to 3 hours.
We are seeking volunteers. You help us while you learn for free! We will teach you beekeeping the “hands-on way”. Not with outdated videos, books, and lots of classroom time. At “Saving the Honeybees” we believe to learn, you must get involved. Up close and personal with the bees. Here you will open hives, remove, inspect, and replace frames, exchange honey frames with new frames, and help with the extraction.
If this sounds interesting to you, drop us an e-mail stating your interest in learning beekeeping. If you are under 18 you will need parental consent.
