Welcome to Bee College, a two-day educational experience dedicated to empowering beekeepers and pollinator advocates through science-based information, practical skills, and meaningful connections. Whether you are preparing to establish your first hive, managing colonies and seeking to improve your beekeeping practices, or interested in creating and maintaining healthy habitats for pollinators, Bee College offers opportunities to learn, grow, and engage with experts and fellow enthusiasts.

Science-Based, Practical Information

Designed to serve a diverse audience, Bee College features three educational tracks: Beginner Beekeeping, Intermediate Beekeeping, and Pollinators. Participants can explore topics ranging from honey bee biology, hive management, seasonal colony care, and pest management to native pollinator conservation, habitat development, and the critical role pollinators play in agricultural and natural ecosystems.

Throughout the event, attendees will benefit from presentations led by experienced beekeepers, researchers, Extension educators, and conservation professionals. Sessions combine current research with practical applications, providing participants with knowledge and tools they can immediately apply in their own apiaries, gardens, farms, and communities.

Beyond the classroom, Bee College provides a unique opportunity to connect with others who share a passion for bees and pollinators. Whether your goal is to produce honey, support local agriculture, contribute to conservation efforts, or simply learn more about these fascinating insects, we invite you to join us for two days of discovery, collaboration, and inspiration.
