Seminar Class for Advancing Beekeepers
*** This year's seminar is full. Please consider signing up next year! ***
If you are interested in taking your beekeeping skills to the next level, this seminar is for you.
This is a discussion group in a seminar format run by Rick Church. Topics will focus on how to make small apiaries sustainable, based on the work of Michael Palmer. The goal of the group is to facilitate improvement of management skills for a sustainable apiary. Participants should have been keeping bees for three or more years and are current MBA members.
Seminars meet on various Saturdays from February- September. There is no fee, but because this is a seminar/discussion group, please only sign up if you can commit to completing assignments and attending all meetings through the season.
If you would like to participate, contact Rick Church: rickbetsey@gmail.com
