January 2024

Main Presentation

The Prepared Beekeeper presented by Monica King.

Ever think about a disaster beyond your control? Maybe economic issues within your family or on a greater scale? What if the grid goes down for a period? Tainted water supply? The delivery systems shut down? Grocery stores empty.....or just one product a beekeeper needs becomes scarce. What will you do? Monica brings some ideas on what we can do during different situations to care for our bees and what the bees can do for us.
