Indoor Beekeeping Class is $50 + tax per person and class will be held in Tunkhannock, PA (northeast PA) at the Tunkhannock Public Library (community room) on Saturday, February 28th from 1:30-4:30pm. Class will include teaching, interaction/questions, and will last approximately 3+ hours. It will be held indoors with no live bees (due to the time of year). Class size will be 30 or fewer people to allow for questions and interaction. When you place your order to reserve, please include both a phone number and email address. We (Walnut Farm Bees) will have some demo equipment on hand as illustrations, and there will be time to ask the questions that you have!
