Bee School covers various topics such as bee biology, equipment, pest management, hive management, safety and troubleshooting your hive. Our instructors are comprised of experienced bee keepers who will share a wealth of knowledge with you in a variety of formats.
Please note, the curriculum will be spread over the two consecutive Saturdays, and participants will receive an agenda closer to the start of Bee School. Topics covered will be discussed and demonstrated during monthly Bee School follow-up sessions at CABA’s teaching apiary located on the grounds of the Governor’s Mansion.
The two day intensive is going to be a great deal of information in a very short amount of time. There is no possible way to absorb everything that you need to know in this amount of time and for those who are planning to attend this accelerated course we would highly recommend coming to the CABA meetings to reinforce what you have learned. We will also offer a follow-up session shortly before installation day so Bee School attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions and refresh details before the bees arrive!
Bee School will take place in person at the City Wide Community Center, 14 Canterbury Rd, Concord, NH 03301. We will be holding Bee School in the Auditorium.
Registration to Bee School includes a text book, monthly live apiary onsite meet-ups at the Bridges House for hands on learning and mentorship, and CABA Club Membership through September 2025.
The funds collected through Bee School supports the educational mission of the club for the coming year. Membership in CABA provides monthly education based meetings, mentors to assist you while you are putting what you have learned into action, as well as access to the private facebook group where you can ask questions of experienced beekeepers.
Each bee school participant must register individually. Online registrations must include payment or they will be cancelled.
There will be a half hour break for lunch as well as smaller breaks between sessions, please bring a lunch from home each day! CABA will offer drinks and light refreshments and participants are welcome to bring a snack to share throughout the day!
We look forward to seeing you!
