Beekeeping Education                            

If you have wondered what the "BUZZ" is all about with honeybees in the last few years, or have thought about keeping bees for yourself or your garden, then check out our classes and workshops to learn more about this amazing creature and how to keep them.


Beginner Beekeeping Class

This class is designed for the beginning and novice beekeepers to help you get started in the art of beekeeping. We will be covering a lot of information in a short amount of time so be prepared. There is a lot to learn about honeybees so we will just be scratching the surface on the basics of bees and how to keep them. We will also talk about harvesting honey for you and your friends enjoyment.

There will be an opportunity to order bees and equipment after the class

After their Kind Series - The "Buzz about Bees" Workshop

Have you ever watched a honey bee and wondered what the buzz is all about? Or enjoyed the sweetness of a drop of golden honey and thanked God for His creation of the honey bee? Come and find out what makes this little insect so amazing and why it is such a blessing from God. You will also discover why one of God’s promises to the Israelites to give them a land “flowing with milk and honey” shows the “sweetness” of God. Join us to examine some of the amazing features of the honey bee and some of the blessings we receive from them.  You'll be able to see amazing photographs, bee keeping equipment, and live bees (in an observation hive).  If the weather is nice there will be an apiary visit to the Creation Museum’s apiary during the afternoon.
