This page will now serve as a calendar for all events for the Apiary and Garden Learning Center. Here are the Goals that we have established for the Learning Center. Each Saturday at 10:00 AM, we will be conducting Hive Dives. These are great learning opportunities for anyone interested in learning more about taking care of bees. Basically, every other week will be a dive into the even/odd numbered hives. We will be checking for the general health of the hive, the queen, and taking the necessary steps to strengthen weak hives.
