While this participation is not mandatory, it does greatly improve one's appreciation for the craft. 

So you are not surprised with any hidden costs, 
We strongly suggest that anyone with even the slightest interest
sign-up for the classes as they are free. 
This has been a very good family project for many members.

Locating a meeting place is getting harder every year because of class size, that is why we are scheduleing all three classes into a three week period.

 

 

 

The Northwest Indiana Beekeepers Association strives to help inform the public 
about bees and beekeeping by offering a Beekeeping School each spring. 
The school comprises of approximately three (3) classes throughout the spring months. 
Though we call them classes, each short session is a loose collection of information 
that will take the novice from starting beekeeping to a confident level, 
capable of winterizing the colonies for next year's season.  

Sign-up for the school begins each year at the local county fair 
and runs until the first class each spring. 
If you would like to attend this year's class email: edrice@prodigy.net for more info.
