Get The Buzz On Bees

Beginner and experienced beekeepers and those thinking about taking up backyard beekeeping can get the information they need to be successful from “Beekeeping 101,” a new online beekeeping course offered by Penn State Extension.

An interactive approach to online learning that can be taken anywhere and anytime, the course was created by Penn State Public Broadcasting’s media professionals in collaboration with Tom Butzler, Penn State Extension horticulture educator, and Maryann Frazier, senior Extension associate in entomology.

“The Beekeeping 101 online format opens up Penn State Extension’s ability to broaden the access to the course internationally,” says Dennis Calvin, director of Penn State Extension and associate dean in the College of Agricultural Sciences.

Beekeeping 101 is suitable for both beginner beekeepers and those with experience who want continuing education.
