“Just completed Camp Beez Kneez 2017- it was a lot of fun and I learned so much! I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in becoming a beekeeper. I am enjoying the honey we extracted from camp and will probably have to stop by the honey house sometime soon to get more!”—Kelly George
“Kristy has built an exceptional business and resource for local beekeepers with The Beez Kneez. My husband and I have extracted honey with them in the past and are this year taking part in Camp Beez Kneez to learn more about being successful stewards of honeybees. It is a thoughtful, exciting, and extremely informative experience. Two antennae up for Kristy and Beez Kneez!”—-Jenny MJ Lund Nelson

Building a community of beekeepers
We have been teaching beekeeping classes since 2015 and are proud of the community of beekeepers we are able to share knowledge with. Beekeeping is not what it used to be. Bees, and therefore beekeepers, are facing many challenges. To be good stewards of the land and healthy ecosystems, we have an obligation to approach bees and beekeeping in a responsible manner. Just like bees, you will work and learn as a group to strengthen your abilities and our growing community of beekeepers. All experience levels welcome and encouraged.
Invest in your super beek so they can become a better beekeeper! This gift card can be redeemed for any class we offer in 2025 including Intro to Beekeeping, Beekeeping for Beginners, Camp Beez Kneez Year 1 or 2. Various $ amounts offered at check out
