Beekeeping Classes

Interested in Beekeeping, but need some information to get started?  We’ll get you started, teaching the basics of beekeeping to get you prepared to have your own hive.  Learn about the different types of honeybees available for purchase, the different styles of hives, and what kind of equipment you will need to get started. This program is meant for those with little to absolutely no experience with beekeeping! Classes are limited to 12 people per session to allow time for thorough discussion. Please e-mail info@beesintheheartoftexas or call 210-504-8498 for more information.  Protective gear, gloves, hive components, smokers, and more available for purchase at the shop the day of the class. See above for next available date. 

Tea with the Bees

Join us on Saturdays, 10am-2pm, weather permitting, to safely view honeybees in their natural environment through an observation hive. This is a free event. See worker bees, nectar, pollen, drones, and maybe even The Queen. Hot tea, fresh squeezed lemonade and other beverages available for purchase while you sit and “spill the tea” with the bees. Please e-mail info@beesintheheartoftexas or call 210-504-8498 for more information.  

Hive Tours

Personal protective gear will be provided as you open up a hive and get to see first-hand the inner workings and daily life of Texas’ hardest working girls. Treats made with local Texas honey as well as a sample selection of craft and organic, raw, unfiltered honey are included in the tour’s price. Please e-mail info@beesintheheartoftexas or call 210-504-8498 for more information.  $45 person, ages 12+.
