The Beekeepers Academy is an online, membership-based education platform delivering expert-led beekeeping training, mentorship, and resources for beekeepers of all experience levels — from beginners to advanced practitioners.

TBA is for anyone who wants to grow their beekeeping knowledge and capabilities — whether you’re just starting with your first hive or already managing multiple colonies and interested in advanced queen rearing, management strategies, or treatment-free practices.

We currently offer four membership levels: Explorer (free), Core, Pro, and Golden. Each plan unlocks different levels of access to our library, services, and mentor support, depending on your needs and how deeply you want to engage.

Golden membership — our most comprehensive plan — includes: full access to the video library, unlimited Video Answers, unlimited one-on-one consultations, priority mentor access (“Mentor in Your Pocket”), personalized project guidance, and participation in exclusive monthly live sessions during beekeeping season (Feb–Oct).

No. You need to be logged in with at least the Explorer (free) membership to access our catalogs and member areas. Video viewing and premium features require a paid plan (Core, Pro, or Golden) depending on the item.

Our team includes researchers, PhD, master beekeepers, and queen breeders with decades of experience.

Consultations can be scheduled through our website. Check your membership level/area, where the form is located.

Dr. Debnam knows his bees so well he rarely needs one. Tamila, on the other hand, is allergic, carries an EpiPen, and prefers not to get stung in the face right before a presentation.
