ECBA Bee School 2026 : Feb 17 - Apr 14
About The Course: Practical Beekeeping
The Essex County Beekeepers' Association offers a nine week course for beginning beekeepers and others with an interest in bees. It runs from February - April each year.
Practical Beekeeping is an
introductory level course designed to provide students, with no previous knowledge or
experience with beekeeping, the necessary information and skills to keep honeybees and
produce honey and beeswax.
The course includes instruction on:
- bee biology
- required equipment
- setting up bee hives
- acquiring and installing bees
- managing bees through the seasons
- harvesting bee products
- local bee supply dealers
We guide you through what you need to get and where to purchase.
We demonstrate an installation of live bees in a hive, as new beekeepers will typically do. Check the web site for updates.
