Beginner Beekeeping Class
This is a great class for those who are interested in starting beekeeping, if you have purchased your first hive, or if you want the experience of seeing the inside an active beehive. Also, this is a great class for beekeepers in their second or third year who want to see how an experienced beekeeper moves through the hives. Jason has presented to home school groups, beekeeping clubs, beekeeping seminars, and WISD for adult education. He is also in the Texas Master Beekeeping program. Jason’s love and passion for bees is shown through his unique and charismatic style of teaching. There will be a maximum of 15 students per class to ensure that all have a great experience.
