Title: Introduction to Beekeeping workshop to be offered in September and October

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:

“Honey Bee Basics” Offered in Hillsborough

Want to know why honey bees are in the news? Curious about how (and why) people keep bees? “Honey Bee Basics” is a workshop designed to introduce people of all ages to the fascinating world of honey bees, our most valuable insect.

People of all ages and interests are encouraged to attend; families are welcome! Three sessions will be held, each repeating the same content, so choose a date that is most convenient for you.
