Beekeeper Certification Courses

Mt. Baker Beekeepers Association proudly offers Beekeeping Courses several times a year. Here’s your options for Spring of 2025. Participants will be receiving instruction to achieve the optional Beginner and Apprentice levels and more importantly getting your bees to thrive and survive throughout the year. The cost is $65 for the class. You’ll be attending one set of classes either February 1st and 2nd from 8am to noon or March 1st and 2nd from 8-noon. They will be Zoom presentations.

After completing the course a person may take the tests given by WASBA, Washington State Beekeepers Association, and receive certificates. This is optional and you can take both tests if you meet WASBA qualifications.
