The OCBA will be offering free workshops to introduce people to the basics
of honey bees and beekeeping. This isn't an in-depth course, but rather is
intended as a first step for people who are considering beekeeping or are
fairly new at it. There will be a bit of basic biology, a bit of 'how to',
some 'show-and-tell', and a whole lot of Q&A and discussion. Please share
this with friends who may be interested, and sign up yourself! The same
workshop is offered on 3 different nights so hopefully anyone who is
interested will be able to find a date to attend. Instructors for this
series will be Charles Fleckenstein and Randall Austin.

Here is the announcement that will appear in local papers:
