2023 Bee School will be held on February 25th, 2023 at Horizon Convention Center in Muncie, Indiana. We have two Plenary speakers and several of Indiana's own speakers. For more information about our guest speakers, see the right hand side of this page "Who are our Guest Speakers?".
Along with our Plenary Speakers, sessions and discussions will be held for beekeepers with any level of skill, experience or ability. Some of the confirmed speakers and topics are:
Topics on introductory beekeeping tools and techniques, as well as learning opportunities for the more advanced beekeeper will be available. Along with a great program, we'll have our raffle, live auction and silent auction again. We also have a newly designed shirt along with our standard designs. Many vendors will be on-hand with a variety of displays and supplies, see the list below.

This program is for new beekeepers with little to no experience in beekeeping. If you've been in hives, know the three types of bees in a hive or can answer basic questions on beekeeping, this is not the program for you. This is a special registration. You will be in the same room all day with the same instructor and you are required to wear a wrist band.
