Bee101 | Become a Beekeeper
This 2-day beginner beekeeping course in Cape Coral, Florida teaches you how to start, manage, and inspect honey bee colonies — with real, hands-on hive experience.
Participants will suit up and work inside active bee hive under the guidance of a University of Florida Advanced Master Beekeeper.
This is not just a classroom lecture. You will handle & build equipment, inspect a colony, and learn exactly what to look for inside a hive.
