Hi from Orange County, CA
I'm the mother of a 19-year-old girl who wants to become a bee-keeper....and looks for bee-keeping course programme in OC...Is there anybody to tell me how to find one and where? Are there any diploma or certificate to get? Please, Help... :?
Contact a local beekeepers club:
http://bascbees.org/ (http://bascbees.org/)
Looks like the website is a bit out of date, but hopefully you can find some contact info.
There are also numerous courses online. The main Beemaster page has some good tutorials. Also check out:

Thank you so much for your help....I'll contact these associations.
In France, you graduate and get a national diploma in Apiculture and beekeeping. Is it the same in the US?
Can you just take courses online and declare yourself a beekeeper to develop your proficiency or do you need a diploma just like in France plus training periods to validate your diploma?
Thanks you ....
Cati :)
Don't remember where I got it from but several years ago I found ,
"Beekeeping" 101, 102 &103, By John Clayton. I think he is known here by the name, Bee-master.
If you go through all the postings here you should pick up a large farm full of info.
Google
"John Clayton Beekeeping Course".
