2026 Beginner Beekeeping Class

The Richmond Beekeepers Association (RBA) is holding our Beginning Beekeeping Course over 4 Saturdays ( January 10, January 31, February 7 and February 14) at Greenwood UMC fellowship hall.
Attendees will receive instruction on the basics of beekeeping, the various equipment including hive components and tools, diseases and pests, what to expect in the first year, how to purchase and install your bees, sources of pollen and nectar, and (weather permitting) a hands-on field day in an apiary. If you will be working hives with a partner, they can join in on your single entry, but you will only receive one set of materials. The price is $120 and also includes a year membership to Richmond Beekeepers Association.
