Hive Inspection Class

$75.00$125.00

This event is for beekeepers and aspiring beekeepers designed to get you comfortable working your bees. You will have the opportunity to inspect the hives with our beekeeper’s supervision and guidance.

Learn what to look for during inspections, Queen health, brood, eggs, drones, worker bees, food storage, pest and seasonal management practices and how to keep your bees calm and happy during inspections. 

Each class is unique and may include more advanced beekeeping practices like starting new hives, “re-queening,” swarm prevention and doing splits. Sometimes we can plan these in advance- and other times we respond to what’s happening when we open it up for an inspection. 

Bee suits will be provided— all you need to bring is your sense of fun and adventure! Learn the fascinating inner workings of the hive and why bees are vital to the local and global ecosystem.

Your purchase will help us continue bee conservation projects at REAP,  our partner in climate action and bee conservation. We offer three price options and ask you to pay what you can. We appreciate your support!
