monthly bee club meetings
My local bee club is the Des Moines Backyard Beekeepers and it has a website. We hold monthly meetings all year and when it’s warm out, I lead group hive inspections. Confident beekeepers is my goal!
private facebook group
As long as you answer the easy entry questions, you can engage with more than 1000 members and have access to collections of files and photos dating from 2013 to the present.
Sign up for monthly email support here
When you can’t get to club meetings and Facebook isn’t your thing (or even if you can and it is), sign up for my free, once a month email. If you’re on the fence about getting more email, I completely understand. But first, read Val’s review:
“Julia is passionate about bees, and it shows in every project and communication that she gets involved in! She sends out informative emails that provide essential information on what a beekeeper should focus on, based on the time of the year. Her content is written in a manner that makes you feel like you are sitting with her, having a conversation! I highly recommend getting on her distribution list if you aren’t already!”
