2-day Master Beekeeping Class

UT Master Beekeeping Program 

Classes are coordinated by the State Apiculturist (Dr. Jennifer Tsuruda) and put on in cooperation with county Extension offices.

Do not be confused by the name – there are no prerequisites for this Basic Level class and you will learn skills to help you be a successful beekeeper! Please note that if you intend to take the Advanced Level in the future, the Basic Level class is a prerequisite. This class is intended for participants over the age of 15; younger youth are encouraged to participate in their county Extension 4-H Beekeeping and Entomology Program.

From Jennifer: "I anticipate the registration site to be set up soon. I will be sending a heads up to beekeepers needing the class for TAEP and those who filled out the interest form shortly after sending this email. *Please note that many of the questions I receive can be answered by visiting my website and the links within it so please check it out and refer beekeepers to it if you have not done so already. Thank you!"
