Fall in Love with Beekeeping at Bee School 2026

The Kalamazoo Bee Club’s Annual Bee School is set for Saturday, Feb. 21, 2025, at KVCC in Kalamazoo. We’re busy crafting an incredible lineup.

Whether you’re a seasoned beekeeper or just starting your journey, our four educational tracks cater to all skill levels. Explore hands-on workshops, connect with fellow bee enthusiasts and browse our vendor market, brimming with everything you need to kick off your journey or replenish your supplies.

Don’t miss out on the chance to win fabulous prizes in our popular raffle, and enjoy ample networking opportunities to share tips and tricks with fellow beekeepers.

Tickets are just $65 each and include $10 in Bee Bucks to spend at the vendor market. Two workshops are also available at a cost of $5 each, one on Honey Extraction and the other is a decorative lantern making workshop. Lunch options available for $15 per meal.

There will also be a honey judging contest. Look for details in the KBC monthly newsletter. There is no fee to enter, however registration is encouraged.
