We are so excited to have our first field day of the season. Don Chesak has graciously offered his apiary for us to dig into the bees and he always has a bunch of interesting situations to learn from! Not to mention his apiary set up is amazing! Bring your suit and curiosity as we get some hands on experience! Take the driveway to the left of the house and follow it all the way back into the apiary! ** Rain Date will be June 28th**
