Interest in beekeeping in the U.S. is expected to grow in 2023, and learning about beekeeping is easily found in Bucks County with both beginner and intermediate courses offered by Bucks County Beekeepers Association (BCBA).
The classes are designed to meet local, seasonal beekeeping needs in a lecture and discussion format as well as hands-on time at the club’s demonstration hive. While the beginner class will be in person only, the intermediate class will be in person with a Zoom option.
“Helping beekeepers be well-informed and educated is part of the mission of Bucks County Beekeepers Association. Offering local, in-person classes as well as guest speakers at our monthly meetings are two ways that BCBA supports beekeepers,” said BCBA President and Master Beekeeper Joe Dervan.
The Beginner Beekeeper Class is taught by Mark Antunes, the PA State Beekeeper of the Year for 2021. Dr. Vincent Aloyo, a Master Beekeeper, teaches the Intermediate Beekeeper Class.
Classes begin the third week in February and meet once a month for eight months. Information and registration is available at bucksbeekeepers.com.
