If you bring bulk seeds, you will need to provide your own small empty bags or packets. Labels will be available as needed. Leave some seeds, take some new ones! But please only take what you need.

Beekeeping is a wonderful way to bring the magic of nature into your own yard and to help provide habitat to key pollinators.  But what is really involved with becoming a beekeeper?  How much does it cost, what do you need to know, and what are the first steps that you should take to get started?  Come and join us to learn more about it from the York/Poquoson Master Gardeners, and to see if beekeeping might be right for you.
