A Practical Beginner Course
Start Beekeeping This Spring is a beginner-friendly video course designed to take you from “I want bees” to confidently managing your first hive — with clear guidance and real-world instruction.
This course includes 10 members-only video lessons (2+ hours of instruction) you can complete at your own pace — plus a $25 discount on an Ol’ Cappy spring nucleus (nuc) colony.
It pulls together years of hands-on experience, research, and real-world beekeeping into one practical, backyard-focused format — so you don’t have to piece it together from scattered videos, forums, and guesswork.
This isn’t random beekeeping information. It’s what you actually need to know, in a format that makes sense for beginners starting in the spring.
Inside the Course, You’ll Learn:
-
Where to place your hive for the best chance of success
-
What equipment you actually need (and what to skip)
-
The difference between nucs, packages, and swarms
-
Why nucs are often the smoothest start for beginners
-
How to install your nuc step-by-step
-
What healthy frames look like (honey, pollen, brood)
-
What to look for during inspections (even if you don’t see the queen)
-
How often to inspect — and when to leave them alone
-
When to add boxes and support growth
-
The basics of mite awareness so you’re not caught off guard
-
Bonus lessons on honey harvest and optional equipment
