The best way to learn good beekeeping skills is through hands-on mentoring from an experienced beekeeper. The Mentoring Apiary Program will provide this invaluable teaching experience. It is a great program for newer beekeepers. Sign up for as many weekly, one- hour sessions as you need. Each session is tied to key management topics in a typical bee season. Working in small groups, you will manage the University teaching colonies under the guidance of highly experienced Bee Squad mentors.
