2017 Intermediate Beekeeping Class
"The Seasons of Beekeeping"
Presented by the Mecklenburg County Beekeepers Association

Honeybees respond to seasonal cues throughout the year.  This class will cover what's going on in the hive
in winter, spring, summer & fall; and how beekeepers can anticipate and meet the needs of the hive in each season.  The class is geared toward beekeepers who have completed an introductory course or have equivalent experience.
​For more information, please read the FLYER, and get all your questions answered in our FAQ.

The Mecklenburg County Beekeepers Association

We are a group of over 300 admirers of the lovely honeybee. Most of us are hobbyists, with only a few hives. A few of us have several dozen hives, and at least one of our number is a commercial honey producer with thousands of hives. We share an interest in learning more about the bees, sharing our knowledge with others and sometimes a little friendly competition. We meet on the third Thursday of each month. You do not have to be a member to attend our meetings.

Got a swarm?

Occasionally honeybees are found either outdoors in a swarm (usually hanging around on a tree or bush), or else living in an inconvenient location like your attic or garage. Swarms represent free bees to us, and some of us also remove unwanted bees at low or no cost. If you need assistance in removing a swarm click here for our Swarm List.

Need a Beekeeper to speak at your event?

We receive many requests for speakers and we try to fill as many requests as possible. While some beekeepers are retired, most work day jobs and have other responsibilities. Due to the high number of requests and the limited number of beekeepers able to speak in public, we can't speak to every group that asks, but we do our best.
