The introductory program begins with a workshop that establishes a foundation for beekeeping. Hives are built and established on participants' land, and the learning continues on a monthly basis with the help of a Universal beekeeping extension worker. This program lasts for 12 months and guides new beekeepers through the cycle of beekeeping. New beekeepers receive a basic start-up kit that can be customized based on the donor's interest in providing more hives.

UOF's advanced training takes Liberia's most invested beekeepers, hones their skills by providing in-depth knowledge, and gives them teaching skills that can be utilized to host workshops for others.

Both programs require a minimum of 20 participants.
