Common Questions

Can I really learn beekeeping online?
Absolutely. Academy covers both the science of the honeybee and the practical skills you need — hive setup, equipment, inspections, and more. It's a proven foundation that beekeepers have used to get started and gain confidence.
Does Colony replace my local beekeeping club?
Not at all — we strongly encourage joining one! Colony complements your local club with structured learning available 24/7, plus an online community for when you need advice between meetings.
How long does it take to complete Academy?
That's entirely up to you. With almost 100 lessons across 9 sections, you can move at whatever pace suits your schedule. Most members work through a few lessons each week.
How do the certificates work?
Pass the sectional tests in each course and we'll send you a personalized Certificate of Completion as a PDF. Complete all three courses and you'll earn three certificates.
Is there a contract? Can I cancel?
No contract, ever. Cancel anytime from your Colony dashboard — no hoops, no phone calls. You'll keep access until the end of your current billing period.
What's the difference between Monthly and Quarterly?
Both plans include full Academy access, the Colony Forum, and Cluster archives. Quarterly members save 20% and also receive discounts at the PerfectBee Store.
