Gold Star Honeybees pioneered the concept of natural, high-quality, Top Bar Beehive kits* for sale. Our top bar hive kits are available in 3 different levels of Do-It-Yourself, designed to fit your personal mix of time, $, and woodworking skills.
We offer a traveling Top Bar Beekeeping Class - a Weekend Intensive class that cover the how-to and the why-to of keeping honeybees using this natural method in this simple and easy, eco-friendly beehive. We can bring this class to your town - write and ask us "How to Host a Weekend Intensive" and we'll send you a Hosting Package. Check our website to find where we will be teaching classes currently on the schedule.
These informative and enthusiastic Weekend Intensive classes are taught by Christy Hemenway, the author of "The Thinking Beekeeper - A Guide to Natural Beekeeping in Top Bar Hives." You can order your own copy of "The Thinking Beekeeper" on our website.
Christy Hemenway is a sought-after speaker, and is available to speak at bee conferences, organic and sustainability advocacy events, and book signings. She loves to talk bees, so ask her to come and speak to your group! You can view her TED talk and the Gold Star How-To videos on the Gold Star Honeybees YouTube channel.
*The Gold Star Top Bar Hive is featured in the book "The Thinking Beekeeper."
