Bee School

The philosophy of The Bee School is based on sound principles of sustainable, scientific and ethical apiary management. Our goal is to train a new generation of small-scale urban and commercial beekeepers prepared to face the challenges and rewards of the 21st Century.

We live in an age of unprecedented global change. Old modalities and paradigms need to be updated. Just as the resilience of our ecosystem has to be maintained and encouraged, we as beekeepers and urban residents need to grow into a more flexible and responsive way of being; especially in light of honey and native bee losses.

Classes and workshops at The Bee School combine the very latest knowledge, skills and techniques in native and honeybee landscape design and management while keeping alive the knowledge and traditions of the ancient art of beekeeping.

Our intention is to engage the public in doing more to protect and preserve bee populations through courses and workshops that are as affordable and accessible as possible.

All classes provide theory with ample opportunities for hands on practice. Sessions are relaxed emphasizing the enjoyment and appreciation of bees while learning in an inclusive environment.
