Beekeeping | 4-H Project Resources & Curriculum
The University of Idaho’s Cooperative Extension’s 4-H beekeeping program curriculum has been adapted from Purdue Extension’s Beehive program and has three levels:
- Level 1, Understanding the Honey Bee, gives youth the information they need to enter the art of beekeeping safely.
- Level 2, Working with Honey Bees, will get youth started managing their own hive.
- Level 3, Advanced Beekeeping Techniques, will take the experienced youth to the next level of specialization.
The project requirements listed for Idaho’s beekeeping program can be applied to 4-H projects in Arizona. Contact your local extension office or your project leader for more details.
A good project record book for beekeeping can be found at The Ohio State University’s Extension site.
A fun introduction activity to bees as important pollinators can be found at 4-H @Home
