Interested in beekeeping or looking to build on what you already know? Join us!

The Northwest Arkansas Beekeepers Association, in partnership with the Fayetteville Public Library, is offering a FREE Beginning Beekeeping Course for anyone interested in learning more about keeping honeybees.

This is a three-part course held over three consecutive weeks, with each session building on the previous one. We’ll cover the fundamentals of beekeeping, from choosing equipment and setting up your first hive to understanding seasonal management and keeping your bees healthy.

Whether you’re considering getting your first hive, recently started keeping bees, or have a few seasons of experience under your belt, this course offers an opportunity to learn, refresh your knowledge, and connect with others who share an interest in honeybees.

No previous experience is necessary, and you don’t need to have bees to attend! Just bring your curiosity and an interest in learning more about honeybees.
