Q1. I am interested in learning more about bees, but I don't necessarily want to be a beekeeper. Am I welcome to attend?
where we often have guest speakers talking about things other than just nuts-n-bolts beekeeping... such as candle, soap & mead (honey wine) making, cooking with honey, marketing, & gardening! ++++++++++
early register for $105 ($60 + 45). Kids (17 & under), accompanied by a registered adult, may attend for $25 each. For example, a parent & child can early register for $85 ($60 + 25);
both parents & one child would be $130 ($105 + 25). ++++++++++
or workshops using live bees. If you are at risk for a systemic (anaphylactic) reaction to bee stings, you should take the appropriate measures
(ie. carry an Epi-Pen, etc.) for your general safety at
all times. ++++++++++ Q4. What do I need to bring to the short course?
layered clothing, a pen & notebook, a seat cushion, your own coffee cup or water bottle, etc..
