This month’s meeting will be held at the Wake Crossroads Baptist Church at 3329 Forestville Road in Raleigh (zipcode 27616).  The meeting will start at 7:30 as usual.  We’re doing small-group Q&A sessions on both specific topics (requeening; summer/winter hives; mites (maybe?); general questions) with experienced beekeepers leading each group.

Since we’re meeting in the church hall, which doesn’t have a really good space for a single presenter to be, we’ve decided to go with a move around – circulate – ask questions format, just to get people talking to each other.

Class Date: Saturday, April 2nd, 2011 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Testing Date: Sunday, April 3rd, 2011 1:00 pm – Till all have tested

Testing offered for certification through the North Carolina Master Beekeeper Program. See the program
