Attend Our FREE Online Bee Workshop
Every year, we team up with Mellivo to host a LIVE beekeeping workshop on YouTube. You’re invited to attend this annual workshop on Friday, February 15th at 6:30pm. Beekeeper Justin Brown, the inventor of Apicare to fight bee bacterial naturally, will cover some of the basics of beekeeping, what you need to get started, what to expect in the first year, and answer your beekeeping questions. The online event is free!
