Heroes To Hives

The 2023 Heroes to Hives online program will be moving from Michigan State University to The Michigan Food & Farming Systems.  These Classes are free to All Veterans and their families.

These classes are conducted as a modular monthly course that will be sent to your email address starting on March 15th and then on every month on this day through November 15th.  There are also Hands-On training classes conducted at the Maple City VFW Post 2406 in Charlotte, Michigan which goes along with the classes you are being taught on-line.  

This gives the student a chance to not only learn about honeybees but to actually work with live ones too.  The only difference with the hands-on classes is we will be going on field trips to catch swarms, do possibly cut-outs from structures and much more.  We provide all the protection clothing and tools, so you won't have to purchase them for the class unless you want too.

With the Hands-On training we have currently 4 complete hives at the Charlotte VFW Post. There we practice on our hives what you learned in your on-line classes.  The hands-on classes start on the 3rd Tuesday Night of every month from 6-9:00 pm and will begin on February 21st, 2023 and will run through November. This takes the student throughout the entire working days up to Winter. To register for this course please click the link below..
