Start beekeeping. Keep healthy hives. And never figure it out alone.
BEEKEEPING 24/7 offers online beekeeping classes and mentorship for beekeepers who want clear answers, simple, proven methods, and guidance from two experienced beekeepers.
Wherever you are in your beekeeping journey, there is a place for you here
You are brand new to beekeeping
You are curious, maybe a little nervous, and genuinely excited about the idea of keeping your own bees. But keeping bees feels overwhelming and confusing. What equipment do you need? How much space? How much time? Is beekeeping hard? You want simple guidance for beginner beekeepers.
You already have bees
You have a hive or two and real experience under your belt, but you are still figuring a lot out as you go. Swarm season makes you nervous, you fear losing your bees, your honey harvest is underwhelming, and growing your apiary still feels like guesswork. You want to finally feel like you know what you are doing at your hive.
Hi, we're Peter ("The Bee Whisperer") and Amy ("The Queen Bee")
We have been exactly where you are right now.
We know what it feels like to stand at your hive and not feel totally sure of your next move. We were once the panicky beekeepers who cared a lot about our bees and were afraid of accidentally killing them.
Thatâs why we built BEEKEEPING 24/7, an online beekeeping community designed to give you one reliable source for all of your beekeeping questions!
 10k+ beekeepers trained    60+ years of combined apiary experienceÂ
