BEGINNING BEEKEEPING COURSE 2023
East Jefferson Beekeepers Association (EJBees) is offering an IN-PERSON beginning beekeeping course taught by experienced beekeepers from our club starting Saturday, February 11, 2023.
An online video presentation of the same material will be available (password-protected) on our blog (ejbees.com) to use for review and reference. It can also be used as a stand-alone course for those located outside our area (East Jefferson County, WA) or who for other reasons cannot attend in person. View the classes online at your convenience!
Description:
One "module" (=two classes) will be presented biweekly at the
Chimacum Grange, 9572 Rhody Dr., Chimacum, WA, February
11 - April 8, 2023, and a hands-on apiary visit will be offered
at various locations during a weekend later in April. The course
