Immerse yourself in an extraordinary 10-month journey with the Beekeeping Academy, nestled right in the heart of the Texas Hill Country! This isn’t just a class — it’s a full season of hands-on, behind-the-scenes access to honey bee colonies in Langstroth, Long-Lang, and Top Bar hive styles spread across picturesque teaching apiaries.

From January through October, watch the bees stir from winter torpor and stay alongside them through every fascinating phase of the beekeeping calendar. Experience the rhythm of slow, chemical-free beekeeping that honors the natural life cycle of the colony. You’ll learn how to keep bees healthy without harsh chemicals, discover when and how to harvest pure honey, and learn effective natural methods to manage pests and diseases — all while deepening your connection to the bees themselves.

What truly sets this experience apart is our small, intimate groups. This means you won’t just learn about bees — you’ll observe their behaviors in detail and develop a respectful, personal relationship with your hives. It’s a close-knit community where curiosity and care come first, making every lesson engaging and deeply impactful.

If you’ve ever wanted to step beyond theory and truly live the beekeeping lifestyle, the Beekeeping Academy is your chance to do just that. Join us in this unique, immersive experience where nature, knowledge, and mindful stewardship come together in perfect harmony. Don’t just keep bees — understand them, respect them, and thrive alongside them!
