Bee School 2008
Bee School has wrapped up for 2008, but we'll be back next year to teach the fundamentals of beekeeping. If you took Bee School this year, we hope you enjoyed and learned a great deal more about the fascinating hobby of beekeeping. There's no doubt that beekeeping will provide many of you with a lifetime of fascination, pleasure, and honey!
We received a lot of praise from those who took the survey on test day—thank you! We also got many good suggestions on things we can improve and incorporate the next time. If you didn't get a chance to take the survey and you have an idea or an improvement, please send it along through the contact form.
Hive Winners
We're happy to announce that Dennis Looney (pictured left) from Belews Creek and Carlene Compton from Kernersville won a hive complete with bees. Congratulations!
Another Book for Your Library
The Beekeeper's Handbook, by Diana Sammataro
Looking for another good book? We recommend The Beekeeper's Handbook. This book describes additional beekeeping techniques not found in the required text.
Thanks to Brushy Mountain Bee Farm for supporting our hive giveaway. We would also like to thank the Winston-Salem Journal, Fox 8 WGHP, and WBFJ for helping to get the message out.
