When asked about the best way to get started in beekeeping, many of our members will recommend the in person trainings offered at the U of MN campus. As with so many other things in our lives these days, Covid-19 has forced a change to regular plans.

In 2021, the Year 1 and Year 2 Beekeeping in a Northern Climate classes will be combined into a single online event which will take place on January 16th, 2021. If you are interested in formal and structured training to get started in keeping, or just to update and enhance your skills, we recommend that you consider this opportunity. There is a $175 registration fee to participate in this training program. You will be issued a certificate of completion at the end of the program.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We would also like to know if you choose to attend so that we can get feedback on the process.
