On Saturday May 4th, seventeen participants attended a workshop on seasonal beekeeping. Darryl Coates of the IL DNR presented a wonderful mix of slide show, question and answer, demonstrations and opened two of the hives and discussed the contents with the group. There were 2 High School students with a keen interest in beekeeping that attended among the other participants. We hope to educate both our and upcoming generations about sustainable farming, and we hope this training fit the bill for those students. Dubbed by several as “very worth the $$”, we hope to see you at our next beekeeping event on October 5th, 2013.
