The Wyoming Bee College is a two-day event. A Bee College is an educational opportunity for beekeepers of all levels, gardeners, naturalists, Extension Educators, and anyone interested in bees—whether native or honey-producing—and the honey product business.
Courses and training sessions will cover beekeeping skills, honey bee behavior, specialty hive products, and native and honey bee research updates, all from a practical perspective.
The in-depth beginning beekeeping sessions will be offered on Friday as a full-day program. These sessions are for anyone interested in bees, including gardening for bees, those who have or want to prepare to have bees next season, and those who are still new to beekeeping and want to learn more.
We plan to bring in vendors to help new beekeepers find the resources they need to start a new endeavor and for existing beekeepers to stock up on supplies they need for their apiaries. Vendor spaces may be limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Kids between 7 and 15 who are working with an adult beekeeper or 4-H leader learning the craft of beekeeping get free admission with a paying adult; sign them up when you register.

The Wyoming Bee College and High Plains Garden to Market Conference are two educational conferences under one roof, and at one price! Bee College covers all things beekeeping, including Friday workshops with the Minnesota Bee Squad, sessions on getting your bees through the seasons, and discussions about herbs and honey. On Saturday, there will be an all-day Beginners Beekeeping 101 class, along with numerous journeyman and advanced level topics to choose from, all designed to help current beekeepers improve their craft.
The Garden to Market Conference addresses gardens of all sizes, whether in town backyards or on the prairie. Friday will feature a hands-on class on growing grapes and building a Geodesic Dome Greenhouse, which will be raffled off that day. Saturday will cover ways to make money from your garden or simply enjoy the bounty. Some of Saturday’s topics will include growing hazelnuts, UW research on quinoa, yacón, strawberries, raspberries, fruit trees, a canning class, and much more.
Our conference will be fun and informative for the whole family!
