Overview

Master Beekeeper courses are hosted by county Extension offices. Any of these courses will count towards TAEP requirements.

Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the Master Beekeeping Program classes are currently on hold until we have updated university guidance and policies. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Scroll down and fill out the Interest Form to help us with future planning of classes.

In the meantime, please consider attending a free, online beekeeping series to continue learning about bees and beekeeping! UT Apiculture is proud to be a part of this team!

***We have reached our maximum for registration but you can still watch for free via the Lawrence County Extension Facebook page!

ASIAN GIANT HORNETS (Vespa mandarinia)

Anyone who believes they have seen an Asian giant hornet is encouraged to email photos to their local Extension agriculture and natural resources agent for identification through UT’s Distance Diagnostics program. So far, almost all submissions have been identified as European hornets, yellowjackets, or cicada killers – none have been confirmed as Asian giant hornets. However, we want to be sure we do not have any Asian giant hornets in the area so please email your photos to your Extension office (see below). You can also find posts about Asian giant hornets on EPP’s Facebook page (click HERE).
