2025 Hive Inspection Class Date:
Friday February 28th

This class is from 2pm-3:30pm. If weather does not cooperate, we will reschedule or issue store credit. 

Beekeeping can be intimidating when getting started, but feeling confident in your work makes a huge difference. There is one task that every beekeeper does regardless of experience and number of hives, and that is a hive inspection. 

During our  1.5-hour Hive Inspection 101 class, we will walk through a colony of bees and teach you how to open the hive properly, light a , handle the frames, and identify the brood with confidence. 

Our class will take place in our on-site bee yard at Foxhound Bee Company. 

This is the class that all beekeepers should take because it isn't a skill that is worth struggling through. Opening a hive properly and understanding what to look for can make the difference between success as a beekeeper and a dead colony.

No beekeeping experience is needed for this class. We will provide the protective gear you need, but if you have your own , , or, please bring it.
