The instructor was absolutely fabulous. She shared so much of her history with beekeeping, and we covered in depth the process of splitting with our without being able to find the queen, but we learned so much more. I would attend this class again if she taught it, even though I have done splits previously and have done them since. She was that great a teacher it would be worth it!

The staff are wonderful. They are very helpful with answering questions that I had, and very knowledgeable. Will be back again :)
