Become a Volunteer Beekeeper

Want to get your hands sticky?

Wintergreen Studios is seeking individuals interested in becoming volunteers at the 9th Meadow Apiary. Over the next 8 months, volunteers will not only learn the basics of keeping bees but will also get hands-on training and guidance from experienced beekeepers. From honey bee biology and beekeeping equipment to hive health, honey production, and seasonal responsibilities, with this unique opportunity you will certainly become one with the colonies!
