Always wanted to learn Beekeeping?

There's no better time!

PerfectBee has offered our online beekeeping course for several years and, with the situation today, there's never been a better time to learn.

Aside from the obvious benefits - helping the environment, pollinating your garden, the beauty of bees, glorious honey and more - it's a hobby that can be fully enjoyed from the safety of your own home.

Our unique and detailed online syllabus prepares you to confidently install your first beehive.

Here are some highlights:

How much does it cost?

We have priced this for the hobbyist beekeeper! It's just $9.99 per month or $99 for a full year.

What if I miss an event?

We get it - sometimes life gets in the way! So while we hope you can join us for our webinars, we'll be making the recordings available to all Colony members soon after.

You won't miss a thing!

Frequently Asked Questions

What and How Will I Learn?

Yes! By joining Colony, following our Academy Course and engaging in the Colony Forum you will be able to confidently install your first beehives next spring!

Just add equipment and bees!
Absolutely. Some members like to buzz through our course at a rapid pace! Others like to gradually view our online lessons, do a little research and generally take their time. In short...it's up to you.

We do have one small requirement! At the end of each of the 9 sections (3 in each course) we challenge you with a test! You will need to pass that test to move on to the next section.

Why? Because we want to ensure you earn the 3 course certificates that you will earn at the end of each course! Our members love these, print them out and put them on a wall!
So are most of our members! We're big supporters of joining a local beekeeping club but our members have discovered that Colony is entirely complimentary.

We're "open all hours", you can learn and engage on your own schedule and, in these challenging times, you can do so entirely from the safety of your own home.
No problem. While our live webinars provide the opportunity to ask your questions in real-time, all webinars are recorded and made available online.

Like we said....on your own schedule!

Joining Colony

How about now? On joining Colony you will have immediate access to the Academy course, the Colony Forum, recordings of all our past webinars and Clusters and much more.

We will send you invitations to our live webinars well ahead of their scheduled time.
We don't do smallprint or gotchas! We like easy, simple and transparent.

After you sign up you can cancel at any time. We'll honor your membership till the end of your billing period (monthly or annual), of course. You can cancel from your Member Dashboard and you don't need to contact anyone.

We just respect you that way!
Of course. While our Customer Service team is always happy to help in any way we can, for beekeeping questions you will find the Colony Forum to be a wonderfully friendly and helpful corner of the Internet!
