Beekeeping Training for Ag Professionals
SARE PDP–Funded Accessible Beekeeping Training for Ag Professionals
Join us for an in-depth, SARE PDP–funded Accessible Beekeeping training designed for Extension agents, agricultural educators, vocational rehabilitation professionals, and service providers supporting diverse farming communities.
This training combines classroom instruction, hands-on hive demonstrations, and guided use of our interactive Living Manual—a practical, continuously updated resource built to support real-world teaching and field application. Participants will gain tools they can immediately apply in outreach, programming, and technical assistance.
Free lunch is provided.
Training topics include:
- Principles of accessible and adaptive beekeeping
- Common physical, sensory, cognitive, and environmental barriers in apiculture
- Practical hive adaptations and ergonomic techniques
- Using technology and tools to supplement inspections and learning
- Safety considerations and risk reduction strategies
- How to integrate accessible practices into Extension and outreach programs
- Guided walkthrough of the Living Manual for continued learning and reference
This session emphasizes practical implementation, not theory—equipping ag professionals with inclusive strategies they can confidently share with producers, educators, and community partners.
