I felt so pumped after taking this class.
It is broken down into easy to digest sections.
I was feeling a little overwhelmed with my first NUCS arriving . This class made it seem I could do this and succeed and inspired me to keep learning.
I had entered a phase of “ paralysis by analysis” with all the conflicting info online.
You can feel the instructor’s passion.

Our family did the Beginning Beekeeping Class this weekend with Kim and Shannon. They were fantastic, informative, and very entertaining to learn from. It's obvious they are very passionate about bees and good at what they do. The classroom at Desert Creek is an extremely nice facility. Most importantly to me, the class really got my wife and daughter up to speed and fired up to get our bees. They asked so many great questions on the way home about what we learned and saw. Thank you!!
Angela D.

Took beginning class today at the Dayton location. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I pulled into the parking lot! The class taught by Kyle and Paul was very informative and hit all the "getting started" topics and tips needed without overloading me. I am excited to start this new hobby and came away knowing The Bee Supply will be there to answer questions and help me be a successful beekeeper.

Denise A.
Very informational, hands on class. Instructors obviously are very passionate about good Beekeeping. Feel like I can go to their store or call and ask for help! Looking forward to getting started.
Sage M.
I had a great time at the beginning beekeeping class. The two instructors were very knowledgeable, approachable, and practical. The two parts I found especially valuable were the review of equipment, and being able to see and feel how the equipment all works and fits together, and then actually going in to the bees and identifying things using what we learned previously. It was an overall excellent experience.
