CLASS: All About Bees

In this class, we will take a deep dive into bee biology, anatomy, ecology, and the inner workings of a hive. Starting with the simple question, “What is a bee?,” we will journey through the evolution of these magnificent little creatures, discussing the many native bees and other pollinators in our region, and then zeroing in on the European Honeybee species we know and love. We’ll cover the life cycles and specific duties of each member of the honeybee colony, and learn how they all work together to make the hive superorganism thrive!

We recommend taking this class in tandem with Ins and Outs of Beekeeping and Approaching the Hive if you are interested in starting beekeeping. All About Bees is also a great standalone class for those interested in honeybees and their impact on the environment who are less enthusiastic about the idea of keeping bees themselves!

This class is 2 hours long and held in-person at our storefront at 23 Merrimon Avenue in Weaverville, NC. Please bring materials to take notes.

An added perk: Class attendees will also receive a 10% off coupon on one honey product on our website and in-store (restrictions apply; limit 3 pounds or less).

Purchasing as a gift: If you're purchasing this class as a gift, please select the Gift Option. We'll reach out to send you a certificate that the recipient can redeem for any future Beginner Beekeeping class!

About Honey & the Hive's pricing tiers: To increase access to our classes and the knowledge they provide, we've decided to implement a tiered payment system for all our classes moving forward. Please pay at the level that works best with your budget! You will receive the same education regardless of which tier you pay at.
