Pest control
This event is structured to provide attendees with all the information needed to begin beekeeping in Central Oregon.  Our event booklet will include the information discussed during the event as well as handy local supplier contacts, advice on local plant varieties to encourage pollinators and much more.

We will have breaks between lectures to visit with mentors and see different types of hives and beekeeping supplies.  There will be a lunch break with some snacks provided – please bring a sack lunch if you choose.

We are working towards reducing waste created by our events: Please bring a water bottle and/or your beverage of choice as we will not be providing beverages in disposable packaging.
