We are happy to provide honey extraction services for our fellow beekeepers. This service is ideal if you're just getting started and don't want to invest hundreds of dollars in an extractor that you will have to store throughout the year. As Dolly says “we save a lot of marriages” since you do not have to worry about getting your house all sticky. Just bring your medium or deep frames and food grade buckets and let us do the work for you. We usually have less than a week turnaround time for extraction.
Becoming a beekeeper is an exciting and rewarding endeavor. However, when you are just getting started, everything you need to learn can seem overwhelming.

Beekeeping on the Front Range requires a mix of art and science. Beekeepers are life-long learners that continuously refine their craft and hone their skills. We offer a wide range of classes to support the novice to advanced beekeeper. All of our classes are currently offered in recorded format. When we are able, we will resume in-person, hands -on training. When we resume, our class schedule will coincide with the bee season as it progresses. We will offer our basic 6hr “brass tacks” course in late Fall through to early Spring. Throughout the summer we will provide more advanced
classes that include pest management with an emphasis on the varroa destructor mite, hive management classes to include hive splitting, queen rearing, and how to make money in beekeeping. We will also provide seasonal classes such as overwintering, and honey harvesting. Our classes are designed to equip you with the concepts, knowledge, and best management practices needed to successfully keep honeybees.
