❓ FAQs
How much does a beekeeping class cost?
Private beekeeping classes typically start around $200 for a small group. School programs vary depending on location and group size.
Are beekeeping experiences safe for kids?
There’s always some risk when working around live bees, but programs are structured with clear safety precautions to keep participants as safe and comfortable as possible. Observational events (like school visits and library programs) use enclosed hives or demonstration tools so kids can see bees up close with no direct contact. Hands-on classes with live hives are for ages 13+ and include protective gear and close supervision.
What time of year is best for beekeeping tours?
Tours run most of the year, but the best experiences are in spring and fall when weather is mild (65–100°F) and bees are most active. Early summer mornings can also work well. Tours may be rescheduled for rain or extreme heat/cold for safety and comfort.
