For 2025 our classes will be mostly in lecture format in 2 sessions via Zoom and will cover honeybee biology and life cycle, pests and diseases, foraging habits, and beekeeping equipment and techniques.

The class sessions will be 2 hours long on consecutive evenings from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. You can download zoom to your tablet, laptop, desktop, or phone here. You will not be able to take one session on one date and another session on a following date,.

Since these dates are a long way off from our posting, please add the class to your calendar so you don’t end up with conflicts.

You will get a Zoom link to the class on the Sunday before the class dates. We do not record the classes.

The book Honeybees and Beekeeping is available with a class purchase (currently back ordered but will arrive in time for you to read before the class).

Scholarships for this class are available through our partner non-profit, Chicago Honey Co-op Training Center.
