EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS

Throughout my five years of beekeeping and many conferences, I have worked alongside some great beekeepers to obtain the knowledge I now pass on to others. As part of the Big Country Beekeepers Association, I gave monthly presentations about what should be prepared for the next month. I was eventually nominated to take over the president's role and was honored to keep advocating for honey bees and introducing others to the wonderful world of beekeeping. Because of this, my desire to educate past the BCBA continues to grow. I have spoken at Hendricks, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Taylor Country Farm and Ranch Expo, Schools, and countless fire departments throughout the Big Country. A small monthly meeting has blossomed into a passion for informing the community and spreading the good news of beekeeping. Honey bees are all around us, and there will be a time when you might encounter a swarm or colony moving into a structure you own. Knowing who to call in that situation is essential to giving the honey bees the best chance of relocation and survival.

If you are interested in a speaking arrangement, some examples of classes are at the bottom of the page. If your group is interested in a specific topic, please reach out. These are just examples of our most frequent presentations but are not limited to.

We also offer individualized services such as Apiary Set-Up, Beekeeping Consultation, and Pollination Services. These are hands-on, one-on-one activities customized for your exact situation. We can set up training at your house, or you can do hive inspections, honey extractions, etc., at our farm to learn the ropes before tackling your own.

We want each presentation and service to be individualized so that each teaching is obtainable at the highest level and is the most beneficial. We want to educate you on everything related to honey bees and beekeeping so you will succeed in your adventure.

We are excited to meet with you all on every level of learning!
