What’s all the fuss about the
Master Beekeeper Program? As a BCBC club we want you to grow in your bee
knowledge and one way to do that is to participate in the stair-step,
well-thought-out program that has made our state NCSBA a leader in the bee
world. Read more about it on our website, www.wncbees.org
To complete the Certified
Beginner Level you will need to attend a Bee School and we just happen to
have one on March 23-24. Sign up here:
Take the written test on April 2 at the Extension Office on
94 Coxe Avenue and the practical-in-the-hive test at our June 8th
field day at the 4H Camp in Swannanoa. You must sign up with the Education
Secretary, Janet Peterson first. (janetpeterson9@bellsouth.net)
To complete
the Journeyman (woman) Level you can take the written test on April 2nd
but you will have to take the practical test at the next NCSBA meeting. The
best notes to study for both tests are here: http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/
Journeyman applicants
will need 5 service credits. Here are two immediate opportunities to get these
under your belt:
Talk to second
grade at Glen Arden Elementary school. Contact dynamite teacher Andrea Bassett
at andrea.bassett@bcsemail.org
The
Buzz on Bees event is coming up at Chimney Rock Park on April 27, 11
am - 3 pm. Last year, the event featured bee hives, chats with local
beekeepers, displays about the basics of beekeeping and honey
production. The focus would give information about
how people can help bees.
Phyllis
Stiles <beecityusa@gmail.com> wants to partner with someone to go.
Contact her and Dayna <daynareggeropr@gmail.com>
who is organizing the event.
