Good afternoon! Yes, we offer beginning and advanced beekeeping courses at our location in the Madera Ranchos. The beginner beekeeping courses are held every Saturday from noon - 4pm. In the class you will receive lecture time as well as in-person, hands on experience working with bees. We cover everything from bee anatomy, to setting up your first beehive, to what to do if things go wrong. The beginning beekeeping class is $75 and includes membership in the Madera Beekeepers Association.

Good afternoon! Yes, we can have one of our beekeepers come out and collect all of the bees for you. There is no charge for that. Bee removal is a FREE service we provide to the community.
