Fall Beekeeping Workshop
Saturday, September 26, 2009
After the beekeeping workshop this spring, several attendees wanted to have a fall meeting. This fall event will occur on Saturday, September 26, from 8:30 a.m. until noon in the training room of the DeRidder Police Department, next to the City Hall, in DeRidder, La.
Capt. Michael Constance, the chief beekeeper at Phelps Correctional Center, will be discussing parasites and diseases, winter preparations and spring preparations. Another possible speaker will be a representative from the Louisiana Beekeepers Association to talk about starting a bee club in southwest Louisiana.
The cost of this workshop is $5 per person, and the proceeds will go the Beauregard 4-H Foundation. For more information, contact Keith Hawkins at 337-463-7006.
