Beekeeping can be enjoyed by almost anyone, whether you live on a farm or have nothing more than a backyard. The best way to learn the craft is with an experienced beekeeper.
Susan Polsky, of The Association of Southern Maryland Beekeepers (ASMB) and a beekeeper for 10 years, will share with us what we should consider before deciding whether to pursue beekeeping.
Keeping a hive is something many wish to do for the environment (and the honey!) but you may find yourself feeling a tad overwhelmed with the information available to you. Join us for this presentation so you can be well-informed before starting your journey to becoming a beekeeper.

"Small acts, such as sharing a picture of a bee, can help a scientist across the country better understand population changes of pollinators (which are responsible for one-third of the food we eat). Nobody knows everything, but everybody knows something, and together, we can help solve local, regional, national, and global challenges." - SciStarter.org
