Meetings are very informal, lasting 1½ to 2 hours.  They consist of an educational program followed by a refreshment break and a business meeting open to the public.  Our members hail from the Eastern Shore to Emporia, Moyock to Williamsburg.  They are beginning beekeepers and experienced beekeeping mentors ready to assist anyone wishing to get started in beekeeping.
