A knowledgeable beekeepr is a good lifelong beekeeper
We put a great emphasis on education. In our view, a knowledgeable beekeeper is a good, lifelong beekeeper. We will present many options, methods and practices to the members. However, as in all things, each and every beekeeper chooses how to manage their bees. Our intention is to simply present as many methods and alternatives so management decisions are not made in a vacuum!
Like the bee, our contributions may be small, but they weave together to create something grand. – Unknown
