Keeping honey bees class online

I really want to keep bees. This is an online class in 3 parts for learning that. There is even a contest for the class (I'm entering for sure).

Looks interesting.

Edit 6/4/13:
I never did go through with this.  My DIL is deathly afraid of bees and I don't want her to feel unwelcome here and I fear keeping bees and knowing her fear would do that.   So, now I'm obsessed with the idea of keeping chickens and waiting for the county to vote on a law that might allow me to do so.  Currently I can't.
