Mentee Registration Form

Novices Seeking a Mentor - aka Mentees

This is where novice beekeepers register to have a Mentor assigned to assist you with hives, colonies or other topics related to beekeeping. A Mentor will be assigned to assist you based on location, expressed need, communication preferences and availability.

Please fill out the form below. Someone from the Mentor Program will contact you to arrange a matching Mentor.

Guidelines
Remember, this is a volunteer program. Mentors have been asked to assist you with specific questions or general guidance on beekeeping. However, they are not responsible to hold the mentees hand through every step of the season. They are not teachers, they are mentors. Try to appreciate that they have their own bees and chores, and time is a valuable thing in the season ahead. 

Please do a little reading or research into your issues before contacting a mentor, and your mentor will give you guidance or confirmation on your proposed solutions or actions.

The Mentoring Program is administered by co-chairpersons, Rick Gagne and Mike Mannino. You may reach both of them with questions at Mentoring@mvbee.org.
