Beekeeping

[Curly Girls]

I just started a hive this past weekend. I have to say, that is probably one of the coolest things I have ever done!

I am wondering if there are any others out there that have a hive too?

GR8 EYES and Dr. Doolittle became certified beekeepers recently.

what is a certified beekeeper

I don’t know, but they took a course and received pieces of paper upon their completion.

If you take the course you don’t even have to get an “A” to pass. All you need is a “B”.

No kidding….now that is a honey of a deal!

I bet getting a “C” would sting a little.

hopefully the instructors didn’t “drone” on for hours and hours.

Ok, obviously I’m a little late to the party on this thread but I’ve had anywhere from 1-4 hives going for 4 years now.

To set the record straight there are many avenues of education for beekeepers. Most hobbyists simply take a 1-day seminar and or get an experienced beekeeper to mentor them.

There are several “Master Beekeeper” and other programs out there that will offer a “piece of paper”….some of them are extremely rigorous, take years to obtain and are not intended for anyone with less than 50 hives….others are extremely easy. None, however, are actually required of anyone.
