I just finished the class titled "Is beekeeping right for me?"  Extremely informative, written and produced in a way that incorporates common sense,  technology and knowledge that could only be achieved through years of experience and continuing education.  Thank you.

Ray’s product and bees are amazing.  We have taken his classes and bought bees from him.   We would not be successful bee keepers without Ray’s training and mentorship!

I ordered a nuc bee package and the bee bucket water float. The bees found the water float very fast. Ray has helped me way more than he knows. I strongly recommend his online training course! I

Highly recommend taking the class! Ray was very informative, kind, and explained everything you need to know to bee 🐝 successful! I also recommend buying your bees from him! He will answer all your questions. & if you do the class you will have access to video lessons forever which is a MAJOR help.

So great!! My husband and I learned so much more than we could have imagined when signing up! I also really appreciate that after the class you get access to the class online so even though you may have missed something or didn’t understand you can refer back to online class! VERY educational and friendly!

We will be getting a colony this spring so we took the beekeeping 101 class and enjoyed every minute! Ray is very informative, witty and time efficient. If you are fortunate enough to live close to Chapin, I highly recommend taking this class! I am sure it will save us many hours of frustration and a lot of money in the long run. Looking forward to watching the video library that is included with the class and coming for Rays continued education.

Ray was extremely knowledgeable and kept the class super simple and easy for me to understand.  I didn't know what to expect but it certainly wasn't to be provided  with so much information.  I highly recommend this class for anyone interested in beekeeping.

I have taken a couple of bee keeping courses to try to get as much information as possible. This course was the most interesting and educational. I learned more in this course then I did in the others. If I could do it again, I would have taken this course 1st. I can't wait for future courses.

Honey Top Bees beginner class was awesome! Ray does an excellent job at delivering the class content thoroughly and efficiently. Class questions were managed extremely well and Ray took time to circle back and make sure everyone’s questions were answered. Last but certainly not least, the honey biscuits were amazing!

Great class. Great instructor. Wife and I are looking at setting up a hive, and this class gave us a great foundation for going about it.

Ray was a phenomenal instructor. I learned exactly what I was doing incorrectly on my 2 current hives. Definitely the perfect class for a beginner or even someone with hives that is struggling to maintain healthy colonies.

Rays classes are Excellent.  There was a lot of great content.  So much too learn but Ray presents info in an easy to understand method.  We originally bought  bees without researching or learning anything. Big mistake.  Luckily we found Ray on-line  He helped save our first hive.  We bought our second hive from him.  We also signed up for the mentor program and the on-line training.  Ray is close enough that we can attend his in-person classes all.   I know our bees are thankful and so are we!
