Membership – our members share a close camaraderie in the beekeeping community and are able to expand their expertise and knowledge with constant contact.
Outreach – we do “outreach” education at schools and clubs where we bring bee products and equipment and do a lecture w/honey tasting.
Facebook – one of the other ways we reach out to the community to share our knowledge and skills is by the use of the largest social network on the Internet. We’ll maintain an active profile and respond to your queries and direct you to other resources for the beekeeper hobbyist. Won’t you join us there also?
