YCBA Beekeeping 101 Classes
YCBA offers a Beekeeping 101 classes for those interested in becoming beekeepers and managing honey bees. The classes are held monthly, starting in March and running through August. Course content and material is coordinated with what is happening in the hives at that particular time of year.
