Our 2025 Workshop & Honey Show will be held on February 8th, from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm, at the Holiday Inn at Sunset Hills and will provide instruction for beginning and experienced beekeepers. The courses will focus on beekeeping as a craft, and the biology of the honeybee as a super-organism. Price includes continental breakfast, lunch, refreshments (provided by the Twisted Tree) and a beginning beekeeper’s book for those taking the Beginners Course (a $20 book value). Also the Beginner’s Course ticket includes a follow up session on February 25th, 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm at The Lodge in Des Peres. This session is designed to get you ready to start keeping bees in the Spring.
In addition, we’re thrilled to welcome the American Honey Show Training Council, who will be teaching their Level 1, Honey Show Certification Class on February 7, 2025. Visit our website to learn more about this opportunity.
