Classes will be held this year in 8 regions of Ohio. Should our class not fit your schedule or location, check out out the OSBA webpage for other queen rearing classes held in Ohio this year.
Note: Unlike last year, there is a fee to all individuals taking the class this year. This fee was set by the Ohio Queen Project and all of the money will be used to further the project and its goal of both teaching beekeepers to raise queens and to develop a breeding program in Ohio. All the regional coordinators are unpaid volunteers and donate their time, money and often supplies to teach and further the program.
