A Message from Tara

Thank you for attending my beekeeping class at the  Southern Family Farmers and Food Systems Conference. I enjoyed the opportunity to help prepare you for a journey in beekeeping! As a fellow sustainable agriculturist, I always love the chance to educate and support this community!

I would love to connect with you again! Below you can learn more about our Fall Apprenticeship program (which is currently filling fast), find out about Hive Tours and other ranch events, and sign up for our newsletter for even more knowledge, resources, and bee storytelling. 

Welcome to our Two Hives family! And thank you so much for letting us be a small part of yours. 

For the bees,

Tara Chapman

Become a Beek Apprentice!

The best way to learn beekeeping is alongside an experienced beekeeper in bee hives. Our Beek Apprenticeship is a unique, 50 hour guided educational program that offers just that:  classroom workshops, exploring bee biology and theory, combined with hands-on experience working dozens of hives each session. After 6 Saturdays you will walk away with more experience than most beekeepers that have had hives for 5+ years. We make it easy by offering convenient payment options and discounts for full-pay. The bees are calling you … here’s your answer.

Two Hives Honey has been a life saver on my journey to becoming a successful beekeeper. Recommended by a friend, I've attended several classes, virtual for now, been able to purchase equipment locally, and most importantly, the wealth of knowledge and support when the unexpected happens is not easily found. Recently signed up for their Fall Apprenticeship program to continue my education into this fascinating world of beekeeping. And, their honeycomb honey is amazing, looking forward to a harvest of my own.
