We feel that it is very important to encourage all beekeepers and beekeeping students to learn and follow the highest standards of practice so that they have the highest chance of success. We want all to understand how to be good neighbors to non beekeeping suburban, urban, and rural communities.

The expectation is that beekeepers require the equivalent of a completed beekeeping course or a year’s experience to benefit from this top bar hive course.
