EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Beekeeping Courses and Open Apiaries in Nebraska and surrounding states.
GREAT PLAINS MASTER BEEKEEPING
The Great Plains Master Beekeeping program is a regional education program that spans the Midwest. We partner with beekeeping organizations to bring education opportunities for both new and experienced beekeepers.
Our focus is to increase the amount of well educated beekeepers, to provide beekeepers with resources to continue their education and to help others become advocates for bees.
Whether a student never keeps bees, owns just a few hives, and even if they become a large commercial operation; the Great Plains Master Beekeeping program will provide the student with the resources he or she needs to succeed in the ever changing world of keeping bees.
Non-GPMB members: $10
GPMB Members: FREE
