The HCBC Mentor program is a combination of group-based or 1-on-1 teaching. Outings are organized by location and consist of 1 group leader and can vary from the number of mentees.

The program is free to all HCBC members. The idea of the program is to create a community of knowledgeable beekeepers sharing information (and sometimes a helping hand) with each other.

Stepping into the world of beekeeping can be both exciting and a little overwhelming. Our mentorship program pairs you with an experienced beekeeper who can offer guidance, answer your questions, and share invaluable hands-on experience. Imagine having a seasoned pro by your side as you:

• Navigate your first hive inspection.

• Learn about pest and disease identification and treatment.

• Understand seasonal hive management.

• Troubleshoot common beekeeping challenges.

• Gain confidence in your beekeeping journey!

This is a fantastic chance to accelerate your learning and avoid common pitfalls with the support of a knowledgeable mentor.
