2015 Bee School

Registration is open! The Kalamazoo Bee Club is proud to announce this winter’s Kalamazoo Bee School. We have a great line up of diverse topics and speakers for newbees, intermediate and experienced beekeepers. Get all the info here.

Welcome to the Kalamazoo Bee Club

We are here for the purpose of educating people about beekeeping, supporting beekeepers, and to provide bee-related services to the greater Kalamazoo area community. The Kalamazoo Bee Club is an open club—anyone can be a member and no membership fee or dues are collected. We provide education through monthly programs (generally in the form of an educational presentation), field-days during the non-winter months at the club apiary, and our annual Bee School.

What? Honey Bees make more than Honey? . . . Honeybees give us honey. We all know that! But people can only eat so much honey. Did you know that there are other things that the bees can provide to a beekeeper? Beeswax, Pollen and Propolis are additional resources that a beekeeper can utilize to make additional products. Salves & lotions, lip balm, lotion bars and health related products made from these resources will be discussed.
