Beekeeping Classes

CLASSES DO NOT INCLUDE BEES WHICH ARE SOLD SEPARATELY! BEGINNER BEEKEEPING CLASS: Want to be a beekeeper but don't know where to start? The Bee Great beginner beekeeping school is for you! Our next class will take place at the Allen County Fairgrounds in Fort Wayne, IN. March 15, 2025, from 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM (Lunch will be provided around noon). You get a beginner beekeeping kit which includes a bottom board, 10 frame brood box, 10 frames with plasticell foundation, an inner cover, and a telescoping outer cover. Bees are NOT included. However, by attending the bee school, you will be eligible to buy a nuc of bees from Bee Great.  The hive is already assembled and painted, so you're ready to get started as soon as your bees arrive, which is typically by the first week of June but may be sooner depending on weather in the spring. We will also have a drawing for a FREE nuc of bees at the class! Confused? Don't worry, we'll teach you everything from the ground up about the hive included w
