I’ll be at the Somerset County Cooperative Extension in Skowhegan this Saturday giving my annual bee-school. This will be my 5th year teaching the course as president of the Somerset Beekeepers and I’m looking forward to spending a day talking with folks about bees.
It’s lots of fun helping prospective new beekeepers to learn how to get started with their own hives. Normally I do this course over a series of weeks, but this year I am crazy-busy, so I opted for a day-long workshop that I’ve laughingly deemed my “bee-school crash course”.
There’s still space available in this class, so if you or someone you know is interested in joining us on Saturday feel free to share this information with them and have them get in touch with me to sign up. It’s sure to bee a buzzing good time!
