Part 2. Sustainability-focused certificate program
A brief description of the certificate program(s):
Through UMOnline, UM offers an online Beekeeping Certificate. Honey bees are faced with more diseases, more pests, more challenges of all sorts than ever before. Traditional beekeeping practices are no longer sufficient to keep bees alive, much less producing at full capacity.
This certificate is grounded in science and will help participants become well-versed in the latest discoveries in honey bee health. Although each of the courses is only a few weeks in length, the full program takes three years to complete. It is structured to give participants a full year of experience between courses. The program begins with the basics of handling honey bees, takes students through diagnosing pests and diseases, managing hives for optimal honey bee health, as well as honey production and marketing, and concludes with the business of beekeeping. The courses meets online with instructors guiding the lessons, participating in discussions, and being available to answer questions. Participants earn three (3) Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) for successful completion of the course. While this series of courses is offered via UMOnline, it is also a continuing education course for nontraditional learners.
