This is the tale that began in 2006 in my first year of beekeeping in Atlanta, GA. ...there's still so much to learn.

Hands On Opportunity at the Short Course
The Short Course offered many opportunites for hands on experience in bee stuff. Philippe Audibert hosted a honey tasting table with honey samples from all over Georgia, North Carolina and even from other parts of the world. This was a popular display.
Jerry Wallace demonstrated products of the hive. His table included pollen to taste as well as jars of propolis and his award winning h0ney. He also had his wax blocks to show.
Jason Steidel demonstrated what one might do with a hammer and nail in building bee equipment. He had a very helpful handout for the participants.
PN Williams set up shop at his table and sold bee equipment as well as took orders for nucs to be delivered in the spring.
What a real treat. We have nothing like that here. U C Davis is a good 3 hours away, too far for me. You are fortunate to have such an active group nearby!
