I highly recommend Beekeeping Camp at Honey Hill Farm taught by Mark Antunes. I attended the camp in August 2024 and found it incredibly valuable. These are just a few reasons why I recommend it for beekeepers at all levels. Hands-On Learning - The camp was a full-day, hands-on experience at Mark’s hives and apiary for a small group of beekeepers at all levels. He offered practical insights you can’t get from books or classes. Jam-Packed Agenda - The sessions covered essential topics like equipment use, hive inspections (queen locating/marking, brood pattern analysis, problem diagnosis), hive splitting, treatments, and honey harvesting. Expert Guidance - Mark's detailed instructions during hive inspections helped clarify what to look for and how to respond to hive conditions. Mark guided us through a hive inspection and really broke down what we were looking at and looking for to assist you in the care of your hives. Small-Group Setting - The hands-on approach and small group setting really allowed fellow beekeepers to analyze unique situations that they may face as beekeepers under the close guidance of a leader with vast knowledge and experience in beekeeping. It was helpful to bounce off ideas and practices with fellow beekeepers. Mentorship - Mark’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and passion for beekeeping are contagious. Through his instruction and humor, Mark encouraged, guided, and taught us how to be a better beekeeper. He has been a great mentor for me personally. Since becoming a beekeeper, I experienced many complications in beekeeping that weren’t covered in traditional classes or books. He has been available by phone or in person, always encouraging and helping me to sort out what action needed to be taken. As a second-year beekeeper, I found this camp to be extremely helpful. Although I have read many beekeeping books and attended other beekeeping classes, I have found that hands-on learning in the field has helped me the most. If you’re looking to grow your beekeeping skills, Mark’s camp is an experience I highly recommend. – D. Mason Doylestown, PA
