For most beekeepers, it is.   Think of it like this:  If it saves one hive so you don't need to replace your bees next year, it will pay for itself.   Or if it helps you split a hive successfully so you dont have to buy bees next year, it will also pay for itself. 

Yes!  I personally reply to every email, text or video chat with complete answers. 

1-2 years.   Getting through your first winter, swarm season, and honey extractions will greatly help you.    It is really for new beekeepers just getting started. 

Please note that your membership will renew for a second year unless you cancel it in your account.  Currently, we have it set not to renew after 2 years, as we want you to be able to learn and then continue independently.  

No, absolutely not.   If you are not local, we will have to work more via video and video chat.   The Marco Polo app is best for communicating by video. 

No.   Bees will do what bees will do. 

Swarms, absconding, and weak colonies not surviving are a part of every beekeeper's journey.      

But we can concentrate on things to reduce the likelihood of losing bees.   

But it's never a guarantee.   I wish it were.
