Meet Your New Mentor
Hi y'all! My name is Tara, and I started just like you: with a curious mind intrigued by honey bees but overwhelmed by how to get started as a beekeeper. Frustrated with courses that lacked clear guidance for beginners led me to start teaching holistic beekeeping courses in Austin, TX. Our popular apprenticeship program attracts students from around the country, and inspired me to find a way to bring better instruction to budding beekeepers, no matter where you live.
