Dear David and OCBA: I have been mentor to three new beekeepers (even tho I am newer to the game than most of our members) and it has been fun and not too challenging because all the new people have taken a beekeeper course.You can add my name to your list.
Best,
Blake (Blake Alexander)

Dear OCBA,
I have received several calls from people interested in becoming beekeepers and have talked extensively with them about getting started. I have written down the general information that I am telling them and will be asking Becky to post it to our website so that people can refer to it.

But...it is be best to include the personal touch. I spoke to one man from eastern NC and we had a wonderful conversation. Unfortunately, the 3.5 hour drive would be too much for him and I refered him to the state site to find an organization closer to him. I would like to know if you would like to be a mentor. Someone who enjoys talking with the new beekeepers and helping to get them on the right track. This fellow that I talked to was fascinated by my beginning beekeeping experiences. It is the beginning stuff that he was most interested in. I have another person who is going to call me this afternoon to talk about how to get started.

There is definately interest in beekeeping in Orange and Durham counties. Please let me know if you would be willing to be a mentor and I will put you on a referal list. If you are a woman and are primarily interested in mentoring other women, please let me know that also.

Spring is ALLLLLLLLLmost here!
David
