Online Beginning Beekeeping Course
Mike White, ISU viticulture extension specialist, informs us in his Wine Grower's News about a 37 part online video series sponsored by the Ohio Produce Growers and Marketers Association and the Ohio State Beekeepers Association. This apparently has been awhile in the making and should be a very fine resource for beginning beekeepers. In addition to the 37 videos, there is an accompanying online text you can download. Check it out here.Volunteers will be needed for the following events. Check back here for information on whom to contact to sign up to help.
