Good Morning  -  We would appreciate your help in sharing the following information about the upcoming Orientation / Training Session for beekeepers interested in volunteering at the Honey bee Exhibit at the NC Zoo in Asheboro.  This permanent exhibit is an important project of NCSBA and the volunteers who staff it are all beekeepers.

 

As this is a permanent exhibit we are continually looking for beekeepers who would like to talk about honey bees and beekeeping with zoo visitors using the observation hive, honey bee garden, graphics, etc. and who are willing to commit some time to this important project.  Beekeepers who volunteer in the Honey Bee Exhibit are official Zoo Volunteers.
