This facilitator’s guide provides guidance and assistance for facilitating a beekeeping project. The curriculum is divided into three manuals with the supporting facilitator's guide. The 4-H Beekeeping curriculum is for youth who want to learn about bees and beekeeping. Beekeeping offers many hands-on, educational experiences, from learning about bees and nectar to raising bees and producing honey. The beekeeping curriculum exemplifies the 4-H motto, “Learn by Doing.” Youth are expected to work with a mentor/facilitator beekeeper. The manuals offer guidance and information but do not provide activities for youth to perform on their own before discussing the experiential learning questions with their facilitator. Beekeeping must be learned with a knowledgeable adult. A few questions are included in the first two manuals for facilitators to discuss with the young beekeeper(s).

This Facilitator’s Guide supports the 4-H Beekeeping Series. Other books include:

• Level 1 – Learning About Beekeeping
• Level 2 – Working With Honey Bees
• Level 3 – Advanced Beekeeping
