MIDWEST MASTER BEEKEEPER PROGRAM

Description

Our beekeeping program developed by entomologists and beekeepers with decades of experience. Every beekeeper deserves the best possible education for the best possible price. We understand that some individuals wish to take the courses for personal enrichment and have no need to achieving their certification. That’s why we changed the coursework to be available at libraries, community centers, extension centers, and nature centers. The best way to benefit pollinators and honeybees is to spread the standardized, quality, education.

In the past 3 years, we have expanded our locations to include community centers, community colleges, and nature centers. Each course is taught by experienced, volunteer beekeeper instructors that we use as independent contractors. Over 500 individuals have attended the Introduction to Bees and Pollinators class in the past three years with 97 percent of them giving excellent reviews.

We are now looking to expand our program from education to include development of pollinator habitat. We have supplied several Churches and schools in the past year with seeds because these locations have been unable to obtain free seeds. We do not want cost to be a barrier to pollinator habitat expansion.
