An event every week that begins at 9:00 am on Saturday, repeating until March 7, 2020
We are pleased to be hosting a two part “Beginning Beekeeping” class. The classes will be held on Saturday, February 29 and Saturday, March 7 from 9:15am-12:00pm inside the library at 205 South Rock Avenue. Instructor Jim Krause will be teaching the classes using materials from the University of Minnesota short course titled, “Raising Bees in Northern Climates.” Some of the topics to be covered include equipment needs, obtaining bees, and maintaining the hive among others. Krause will teach new information at each class. The information presented will be geared for those new to beekeeping and especially people that are interested in becoming beekeepers. Registration for both classes is preferred. To register for the class please stop by or contact the library at 637-7151.
