A: The CourseStorm registration page lists Friday, March 12, 2027, from 9:00 am–2:00 pm, at Tillers International, 10515 E OP Ave, Scotts, MI 49088. The same page prints phone 269-626-0223 and email [email protected].

Q: How much does it cost, and how do I register?
A: The CourseStorm page lists $65.00 and a Register button. No registration or payment was submitted for this listing. Prices and open seats change; check the live CourseStorm page.

Q: Why does the Tillers.org events page show a different date?
A: When checked, https://tillersinternational.org/events/introduction-to-beekeeping/ still described an Introduction to Beekeeping session on March 6, 2026, 9:00 am–2:00 pm, and stated that tickets were no longer available for that event. One block on that page also shows zip code 49008, while the page footer and the CourseStorm page print 49088. That 2026 session is in the past as of this check. This listing uses the CourseStorm page for the March 12, 2027 date, the $65.00 tuition, and the 49088 address.

Q: Is this the same as the SEMBA beginner course?
A: No. Michigan already has a Learning listing for the 2027 SEMBA Beginner Beekeeping Course (Bloomfield Hills / Novi). This is a separate Tillers International class in Scotts.

Q: Is this an official or affiliated listing?
A: Neither. Beekeeping Plaza is not affiliated with Tillers International or Harvest Honeybee Farm. No registration, payment or email was submitted.
