What it is
Wyoming Bee College is a yearly two-day beekeeping course and conference run by University of Wyoming Extension in Casper, Wyoming. The official site describes it as “a two-day educational experience dedicated to empowering beekeepers and pollinator advocates through science-based information, practical skills, and meaningful connections.” The Beginner track is for people with a year or less of experience, including those who do not yet own bees, and covers bee biology, hive equipment, seasonal management and colony health. The Intermediate track covers hive loss, queen health, pests and pathogens. The site keeps pages for past years (2023–2025), so it is a repeating program, not a one-off. This listing is for the education program, not a club or a supply store.
