Beginner Course

Virtual Beekeeping Course by Prime Bees

This course covers all basics that will help you keep happy, healthy bees as you begin your beekeeping journey.

We talk a lot about "why" to do things instead of "what and when" because this approach helps you to better understand the behavior and biology of the hive. Since bees are complex creatures, the better understanding you have of "why" they do things, what triggers their behaviors, the better beekeeper you can become.
