Journeyman Class Registration

Journeyman Beekeeper Application

     The dates and times of the next Journeyman class taught as a group Zoom course have not yet been set. We schedule for starting a course each October and each January  and can add another course if there is demand. If interested in the next available course, please email eliochel@snokingbka.org for an update or to be placed on a to-notify email list. A course usually consists of  10 consecutive weekly sessions  that start at 6:30PM  as class presentations, followed by as much time as needed for Q&A or discussion. A course will start for sure in October 2026 but if there is sufficient interest, another Journeyman course may be started.

     Journeyman is the 3rd tier of the 4-tier curriculum of WASBA.org (WASBA): Beginning, Apprentice, Journeyman, Master. The curriculum is designed to be sequential, so the WASBA.org  Beginner and Apprentice certificates are to be earned before starting Journeyman. If you are unsure which class to register for, please contact us first. If the information below does not answer your questions, contact the instructor Eli Ocheltree, Master Beekeeper, before registering or paying the class fee.

      If you have questions about completing the prerequisite Beginning Beekeeper and Apprentice certificates, please call Eli 206-859-7392. Payment of SnoKing membership and of class fee will still be required, but experienced beekeepers, or beekeepers who have taken another beginner class, may wish to read the manual and take the online test. after self-studying the material. Email Eli Ocheltree at eliochel@snokingbka.org if you wish to do so.
