Special note for this opportunity:
Please keep in mind that beekeeping is like farming, we are sometimes at the mercy of weather. In case of a session moving indoors or other changes, notifications will be sent via email. If you are allergic to bees, please think twice about being in this club. Although honeybees are gentle by nature, they have stingers and will use them.
