Are you interested in advancing your beekeeping knowledge past the basic/beginning stage? Do you need some beekeeping education and review to take the Journeyman test at the North Carolina State Beekeepers Association (NCSBA) Summer Meeting in July in Winston-Salem, NC?

Then this in-person class is for YOU!

The Davie County Beekeeping Association will be hosting a two day Intermediate/Journeyman class in Mocksville, NC on June 13 & 20, 2026. The class includes over 12 hours of instruction on advanced topics including bee anatomy & biology, pests, plants & pesticides, seasonal management, diseases, plus honey & wax.

The class is scheduled for 8am – 3:30pm on June 13 with lunch served during this session. Then it wraps up the following week on June 20 from 8:15am – 12:30pm. This class provides the attendees information from the NCSBA’s Master Beekeeper Program (MBP) curriculum. Completing this course should help you to prepare for the NCSBA MBP Journeyman test or simply expands your knowledge to better understand “beehavior”.

Cost is $50 and you can register online at: https://square.link/u/mQ2yOwRE .

As spring arrives, honeybees begin to swarm as a natural way of growing their local populations.

If you encounter a swarm, our members are available to safely collect it and relocate the bees to a new home.

Attached is a list of members along with the communities they serve. Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance. Including a photo of the swarm is especially helpful, as it allows us to estimate its size and determine the equipment needed.
