I came to the class knowing what I had learned about bees in grade school science classes (not much). After listening to the knowledge, wisdom, and experience of Ray, I left in awe of bees, with a desire to learn even more and experience beekeeping for myself. I’m picking up my bee colonies soon and looking forward to walking the journey with Ray.Posted on Google![]()

I attended bee keeping class today, 2/3/2024, and I have to say, I was more than happy I did. This is my first year keeping bee's and I thought thru all my you tube watching and book reading I learned so much. However, today I learned so much more than I ever expected to. Ray did an amazing job presenting the information we needed. He broke it down in such a way that made it easy enough for a dolt like me to understand. It also was nice to get out into the yard and see the bee's up close. I can not say enough great things about Ray. He is a great teacher. He took all the time we needed to explain the answers to all the questions we asked of him. I highly recommend for anyone that is interested in beekeeping 6o reach out to Ray and take his class. You won't be disappointed. I know I wasn't. I am looking forward to a long relationship with Honey Top Bees. Thanks Ray.Posted on Google![]()

He provides the best resources to get you started on your bee keeping journey. One of the best compact learning classes that I have been to.Posted on Google![]()

My family and I did the Bee Tour and had an amazing experience!! We had honey tastings with different types of honey from around the world. Ray was extremely knowledgeable and it was fascinating learning about bees! We finished off the tour with delicious biscuits, whipped butter, and honey. A 10/10 experience!!Posted on Google![]()

We participated in the Immersive Bee and Honey Farm Tour and could not have been more pleased with our experience! This tour was a birthday gift for my mom and my husband, everyone left happy and with an even greater appreciation for bees! The Immersive experience is definitely the way to go. We had an incredible time handling the frames, observing the bees up close, and trying honey from around the world. Ray has over 50 years of beekeeping experience. He is very knowledgeable and patient. We could not have asked for a better experience!Posted on Google![]()
