Also, Beekeeping in Northern Climates: Beyond the basics.
This class is exclusively for beekeepers that have had the following
three experiences: 1) successfully wintered honey bee colonies in a cold
climate; 2) introduced a new queen into an existing colony; 3) kept
bees continuously for two years. You should take Years 1 and 2 before taking this class.
If you think you know it all, take this course. You will be humbled.
