Hello 2026 Bee School Students!

Please join your fellow students and PCBA instructors for an introduction to beekeeping and our club's programs. This is a great opportunity for new beekeepers to get a solid start with helpful tips and expert local advice.

During the meeting, we'll cover key topics for beginners and answer any questions you have. We'll help you prepare for bee school and your first beekeeping season.

Date, Time 19 November 2025 7:00 – 9:00 PM

The Plymouth County Beekeepers Association holds bee school annually.  The enrollment fee ($100) includes one textbook, course materials, and a year’s membership with the club. Your tuition allows all family members in the same household to attend Bee School and become active members of the Club.

The PCBA’s annual bee school is the club’s signature outreach and membership program. Hosted and instructed by PCBA members and guest speakers, this 8-session course meets every other Thursday, 7-9 PM, beginning January 9 and ending in April 17, 2025. Join us before class at 6:30 for an “Ask the Beekeeper” section to get assistance with your specific questions.

Topics in modern beekeeping techniques are discussed, and several demonstrations are provided to class members. Topics include: Wooden ware purchase and assembly, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques, Bee Products (Honey, Wax, Pollen) and Hive Organization and Management to name a few.
