Mentoring for First-Year Beekeepers

February 25th, 2010

PSBA provides mentors help new beekeepers to learn the essentials of hive management. If you would like a mentor and you are both a first-year beekeeper and a current PSBA member, contact Rob Stevens.

Who is a mentor? Anyone with a season’s experience knows enough to help a beginner with beekeeping basics (as Rob said at the Feb. 23 meeting, if your hive survived the winter, you’re now a mentor). If you’re willing to help a new beekeeper get started, contact Rob.
