Beekeeping Courses and other Resources for
​Managing Honey Bees in Idaho

​Beekeeping can be a most rewarding pursuit. However, to be successful at managing honey bees beekeepers need a good place to find valuable information.

To help our amazing honey bee survive and thrive in today's environment, beekeepers need access to well-founded information. Education is key. Hopefully this site will provide that. In addition to providing information about managing bees, we also provide opportunities to register for several local beekeeping courses.

We will offer two "Beekeeping for Beginners Courses" this year. This short course taught by Master Beekeeper Ward Hicks will teach you how to manage your own honey bees for your own benefit. 

Choose a course convenient to you. 

The first "Beekeeping for Beginners" course will be held on  Sat. Feb. 26, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Madison County Administration Building, 134 East Main Street in Rexburg, Idaho. 

The second "Beekeeping for Beginners Course" will be held on Sat. March 5, 2022 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bonneville County Education Complex located at the Bonneville County Fair Grounds, 1542 East 73rd South, Idaho Falls, Idaho. 

Cost for either class is $65 per person and includes course materials, hand-outs, catalogs, refreshments, door prizes and a 166-page, full-color edition of "First Lessons in beekeeping." (Discounts available for couples.)

Seating is limited, so be sure to register early!
