Testimonial: "Since 2013, I have attended five of the in-person Beekeeping training classes that Dr. Jon Zawislak has provided. Each class was a three part/three night presentation over a three week period. For me, beekeeping is such a wildly interesting endeavor. I could go on forever about the amazing honeybee. There was so much information provided in Dr. Zawislak's class that I could not absorb it all with only one round. I have never met anyone as knowledgeable and passionate about a non-religious subject as 'Dr. Z' is with his bee classes." Freddie Mohlke
