Hi everyone,

See below for the latest announcement about the restructuring of Cooperative Extension and the implementation of the strategic plan. Nothing specific to how beekeeping fits into this, but I will keep you posted when a fully articulated mandate is implemented. But for now, it seems that an emphasis on online education (e.g., our webinars, BEES network) will continue to be the model moving forward.

Sincerely, David
