Everyone at the bee school including students, volunteers and speakers had their own name tag.
The scholarship hive program provided a free bee hive to one out of six participants in the bee school.
Thanks to all the people who provided the scholarship hives.
There are a lot of seats in the Folk Art Center auditorium
Volunteers were ready to sign in all the students
There were no empty seats once class started
Everyone took time to give that extra touch of explanation
Bee school is not just for beginners

This is the #1 bee school in the country

Dr Tarpy was a very popular speaker and we are fortunate to have gotten him to speak at our school
The amphitheatre in back of the auditorium was a busy place during breaks.

We have not heard much from Larry Sebren lately, but he is at it again. He has this beetree which is in a power company right of way. Larry is lucky because the power company is bringing it down and loading it onto his trailer. Thats the way I like it too.
