The Bee Place is developing free educational presentations for beekeepers and the general public. These classes focus on recognizing dangerous bee behavior, preventing avoidable incidents, responding safely during an attack, and understanding the responsibility that comes with keeping honey bees in South Central Texas.
Introduction Video Coming Soon
For people who do not keep bees but may encounter them around homes, schools, workplaces, ranches, public spaces, or outdoor work sites.
For current and prospective beekeepers who need practical, locally relevant information about colony temperament and community safety.
The cooler months and early spring are an ideal time for bee-safety education. People may not be thinking about bees during the winter, but that is when families, property owners, outdoor workers, and beekeepers can prepare before mowing, brush clearing, swarm season, and increased outdoor activity begin.
These are educational presentations using photographs, video, protective equipment, and real-world examples. Public presentations do not require live bees.
Class Highlights Video Coming Soon
Possible hosts and audiences include organizations that serve families, property owners, beekeepers, outdoor workers, animals, and the wider community.
Free presentations are subject to scheduling, location, and availability. Host organizations can help by providing a suitable meeting space, seating, presentation equipment, and local promotion or registration.
Before contacting us, please review the presentation options and basic requirements to determine whether hosting a class or attending one of our scheduled public presentations is the best fit for your club, organization, or group.
Honey Bee Awareness grew from our family’s firsthand experience with an extremely defensive honey bee colony. The mission is pro-honey-bee and pro-public-safety: preserve gentle, productive, manageable bees while helping people recognize real danger before another family, animal, worker, responder, or community is harmed.
The story behind this effort, Tammy’s firsthand account, and additional safety and educational resources are available through HoneyBeeAwareness.org.
