We concluded our 2012 Beginner Beekeeping Course last night. We had a full house this year (85-90 participants), and it looks like there will be many new and enthusiastic beekeepers.
To the students--
Please register for this forum board. It is a great resource for local bee knowledge and your questions/comments will add to our local information. Use the mentor page and call mentors when you have a question/concern about your bees. It is not an imposition. You are a GCBA member, so come to the meetings, and be sure to pencil in Saturday, April 14th for our field day at Hagan Stone Park.

Also, thanks to Ruth Edwards for tending to the treasurer's work at the classes, and thanks to the guys at Triad Bee Supply who came early, stayed late, and helped with the considerable take down and set up involved it getting the meeting room ready for use.
