Please pass on this invitation for members in your community to join our beekeeping association as it tours your county. Members of your association or just beekeepers/honey bee enthusiasts are more then welcome to meet up with our group anytime during the day. Please have them contact me at 919-989-5380 or
amie_newsome AT ncsu.edu to let me know they are coming so I can provide enough supplies for them.
Thank you for your consideration to this matter.
Have a wonderful day,
