Join us for our May General Meeting as we have Emily Mueller speak to us about medicinal uses with products from the hive. She will be joining us via Zoom so you can tune in from home but we will also meet at the Firehouse to have a watch party. A swarm catch from an apple tree in 2013 was the beginning of Emily Mueller's beekeeping career.  Over the last eleven years, she has taught hundreds of beekeepers all over the world.  Her focus is on educating children at local schools, educational centers and holds private home-school classes for local students. Mueller Honey Bee Rescue has helped rescue hundreds of swarms and remove many colonies from structures and buildings. If we teach you something about bees then we are doing our job!
