Description

York County Horticultural Extravaganza - March 9 at Tabb High School
Colonial Beekeepers will host a display table at this annual event, in York County, VA.

Additionally Colonial Beekeepers will be presenting "Getting Started in Beekeeping". This will be a great opportunity for those of you considering beekeeping to come out and see what it is all about out and determine whether beekeeping makes any sense for themselves and their situation. A try-before-you-buy session, if you will, where we will make a quick presentation on:

what it takes to be a beekeeper - basic yard reqs, good (or no) neighbors, money, desire;
what it's like to be a beekeeper - time it takes, knowledge investment needed;
and we will have some equipment on display and beekeepers there to answer the myriad of questions that you may have.
