Beekeeping For Beginners Recap
Our Beekeeping for Beginners workshop on April 7th was a huge success, thanks to our Events Chair, Jen Jones! It was a perfect day for learning about the ins and outs of hive maintenance.
The twenty-two beginning beekeepers even had the great luck of finding and capturing a swarm of bees. Special thanks to Bonnie Bolienger for creating this class.
