We’re offering beekeepers the chance to attend virtual meetings from the comfort of their own home. Speakers include university researchers and Extension specialists from across the United States as well as USDA-ARS researchers. Each event will bring participants up-to-date on timely beekeeping topics, with time for Q&A included.
