It's my job to put together the "goody bags" for the Metro Atlanta Beekeepers Short Course that happens this Saturday, January 19th at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. (not too late to register, if you're interested)
The goody bag is a compilation of wonderful items that I put in the bag, but that come from other places - it's a great gift for the participants, if I say so, myself.Included in the goody bag are:
- American Bee Journal
- Bee Culture Magazine
- A catalog from Walter T Kelley Company
- Some have catalogs from Rossman Apiaries
- Others have Dadant catalogs
- Each person gets a copy of First Lessons in Beekeeping by Dr. Keith Delaplane
- Some literature from the National Honey Board
- A gift certificate to go on a hive inspection led by a Metro Beekeeper at the Atlanta Botanical Garden beehives
- A list of Internet resources
- A handmade pinecone candle
- A jar of honey
- A container of my lip balm (!)
- A votive candle
I wish they did courses like that in my area. The goodie bag sounds fantastic

ReplyDeleteHi Linda - I just now randomly stumbled across your blog. I registered for the short course last week (and I'm really, really excited about it)! Your pictures are fantastic, and it's great to see that it's possible to keep bees ITP. :) Look forward to meeting you on Saturday.
