Free Beekeeping Course

By Staff, 10/1/18 10:21 AM

Southwest Arkansas Beekeepers Association and Texarkana Beekeepers Association are co-sponsoring a FREE nine-hour classroom course on beekeeping. The class will be 3 consecutive Monday evenings beginning October 22 (i.e. October 22, October 29 and November 5) at Hempstead Hall in Hope, from 6pm to 9pm each evening. Local beekeepers recognize this course as the best classroom training on beekeeping available in Arkansas, so anyone interested in learning to keep bees is encouraged to attend this free training! The class is also a good review for experienced beekeepers, so those already involved in beekeeping should plan to attend. There will be information about local beekeeping associations and area beekeeping activities available at the training. Although the class is free, you MUST preregister to attend. Call the Hempstead County Cooperative Extension to register at (870) 777-5771.
