Beginning Beekeeping Workshops
Managing honeybees can be a very rewarding enterprise and a profitable sideline. Some keep bees for the honey they produce while others for pollination they provide. Penn State Extension in conjunction with the Beaver Valley Area Beekeepers, Westmoreland County Beekeepers, Armstrong/Indiana County Beekeepers and the Central Western PA Beekeepers, is pleased to offer the Beginning Beekeeping Workshop at two locations again this year - Wexford and Greensburg. The same information will be presented at each location.
