    Beekeeping and gardening go hand in hand, yet raising honeybees can be intimidating to beginners. Jim Bobb will explain how he got started and how you can too. Learn about the best location for your hive, the equipment you will need to get started, where to get bees, several methods for harvesting wax and honey, and how to avoid some common pitfalls. Jim will walk you through a beekeeper’s typical first year so you know what to expect, and he will tell you what local resources are available to help you succeed. Start planning now so you’re ready for bees in early spring! Plenty of time will be allotted for discussion, so bring your questions. Jim maintains the hives at Morris Arboretum and at many other local gardens. Jim Bobb, Beekeeper and Chairman, Eastern Apicultural Society.
