CLASS SERIES WITH APIARY TOUR - IN-PERSON

Introducing our first live class series with an "in-person" tour. We have been building a pollinator sanctuary and educational site in Rancho Cucamonga at The Root 66 Garden for years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic delayed our opening by a year. Prior to this we had been teaching and giving classes around the Inland Empire and across the United States. We are thrilled to finally open the sanctuary for public tours!

This series will involve 5 hours of "in-person" instruction at the outdoor site, but if you are interested in the online course via Zoom, please see our listings in our store. For every "in-person" student, $15 will be donated to the community garden. The in-person student count is limited to 10 students due to the current pandemic, so space is limited. If you need to reserve your spot for a cash or check pay, please email me at beerootedbees@gmail.com.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

2 hours of outdoor classroom of Beekeeping Level 1 (see description below)

2 hours of outdoor classroom of Beekeeping Level 2

1 hour of an apiary tour

10 oz of our local raw never heated honey from our local organically managed hives

Since all supplies and safety gear will be included, we recommend our students wait until after their course before buying anything.

WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED:

Please bring your own pandemic mask (will be required) and lunch.
