When asked about the best way to get started in beekeeping, many of our members will recommend the in person training offered at the U of MN campus, or the online version via Zoom for those who feel uncomfortable in large group settings.

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 these opportunities. 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.

Registration for the 2023 sessions began in October 2022. For more information on both the online and in-person courses, and a link to register, CLICK HERE.

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. To date, all those who have attended this course were very satisfied with the training that they received.
