2023 Tour Groups not including the 250 people who attended the Grand Opening

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.
