These courses are an incredible value, the instructors are TOP NOTCH.  

Serge Labesque has been keeping bees for nearly 15 years.  He teaches beekeeping at Sonoma Community College and is a published author of numerous articles on beekeeping.  Serge is an innovator and follows natural beekeeping practices using NO chemicals in his colonies.

Randy Oliver started beekeeping in his teens, he commercially works approximately 500 colonies leasing his bees for pollination and also selling packaged honey wholesale.  He is a researcher and much published author in prestigious bee journals, and a keen observer of honey bee behavior.

Dr. Eric Mussen is a nationally and internationally recognized expert on honey bees.  He is on staff at the University of California, Davis. He is a highly sought after speaker and has published numerous articles about various aspects of apiary science.

Because of differences in Serge’s and Randy’s style and process we strongly recommend that you take both of their beginning classes.  While there will be some redundancy, you will be presented a wide range of “how to’s” based on the styles of these experienced beekeepers.
