2024 Bee School will be held on February 24th, 2024 at Horizon Convention Center in Muncie, Indiana. We have two Plenary speakers and several of Indiana's own speakers. For more information about our guest speakers, see the right hand side of this page "Who are our Guest Speakers?".
Along with our Plenary Speakers, sessions and discussions will be held for beekeepers with any level of skill, experience or ability.
Our Indiana Honey Queen will be holding a session on making candles and we have sessions on "Catching Swarms", "Diagnosing Dead-outs", and "Pests and Diseases".
In addition to the educational sessions, we'll have our raffle, live auction and silent auction again. Many vendors will be on-hand with a variety of products and supplies for both show and to purchase.
All registrations include an Italian buffet lunch.
We will again have an all-day Beginner Class. It will be held at the same time as the conference.
Pre-registration is required for either school. We do not allow walkins.
Registration is now closed.

This program is for new beekeepers with little to no experience in beekeeping. If you've been in hives, know the three types of bees in a hive or can answer basic questions on beekeeping, this is not the program for you. This is a special registration. You will be in the same room all day with the same instructor and you are required to wear a wrist band.

Dr. Judy Wu-Smart leads the Bee Lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Lab staff and students organize beekeeping workshops and field days, and answer questions about pollinator health and management. Her appointment is 65% extension and 35% research.
Shelby Kittle is a former Nebraska Youth Scholar (2014) and Honey Queen (2018). She currently helps manage roughly 100 colonies for research and teaching at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Bee Lab throughout the past 5 years. Shelby is now pursuing her Master’s degree at UNL and her research seeks to 1) better understand how beekeepers can improve overwintering success and 2) identify ways to stimulate comb production for culling old equipment and spring build up. Her goal is to provide information from her research that beekeepers can apply to make more informed management decisions in their own apiaries!
