Bees?

Laramie Community College in Cheyenne has announced the dates of their next three-day Wyoming Bee College. It’s a three-day conference from March 20^th to the 22^nd, dedicated entirely to beekeeping and the nature of our buzzing friends.

The conference splits into six tracks:

• Become a Beekeeper
• Learning Curves
• Who Are They
• Queens and More
• Build a Better World for Bees
• And, of course, Bee Fun

There will be five workshops offered during the course of the conference: honeycomb production, apitherapy or three different approaches to advancing your beekeeping skills. Don’t worry, nobody’s going be droning on. And then there’s the Bee Buddies, for kids between 7-15 years old who are working with an adult beekeeper or 4-H leader. They receive free admission with a paying adult. Bee-utiful.

Registration includes lunches, snacks and beverages for all three days. Registration for the pre-conference Friday is $125/person, for the Saturday and Sunday sessions is $85/person, or the three-day package deal is $195/person.
