Are you a beekeeper with a number of years of experience who wants to increase your understanding of bees and improve your practices? Do you feel like you might need a “booster shot” to update what you learned in your beginner bee school? Wish there was an opportunity to reinforce your experience to maximize your beekeeping success?

If you answered yes, set aside two full days and immerse yourself in theoretical and practical aspects of beekeeping at the 2022 BEES Academy. During live and pre-taped videos from the Beekeeper Education & Engagement System (BEES), Dr. David Tarpy, other members of the NC State University Apiculture Program, and N.C. Cooperative Extension agents will help you build upon your current knowledge of beekeeping by exploring a variety of beekeeping topics.

Each presentation will be roughly 30-60 minutes and will be followed by a short Q&A and discussion period. On the second day, you will have the opportunity to practice and observe important areas associated with bee management.

Date and Location:
September 16-17, 2022
Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center
Pittsboro, NC

The first day of the course will meet from 10 a.m.–5:30 p.m. The second day will be from 8:30 a.m.–3 p.m.
