day in the bee yard
Saturday - FEBRUARY 8, 2025 9:00 am
To allow new and seasoned members the opportunity to get hands on experience with honey bee colonies. If you're not a member yet, this is a great opportunity to join the club and see if bees are for you. No experience required!
The address is 38425 Yale Circle, Leesburg, FL 34788
"Day in the Bee Yard" is for continuing hands-on education as a teacher or a student or both, since we do break up into manageable sized groups. It’s great to learn and share different ideas with other beekeepers on common and maybe not so common beekeeping tasks. So bring your questions for a great beekeeping collaboration.
Please wear light colored long pants, long sleeves and closed-toed shoes. Bring your gear if you've got it. And any extras you have to loan, we may have several new bees without gear. We do have some extra gear to lend, if needed.
Afterwards we are going to lunch
at Barnwood Bar'B'Que in Eustis.
3725 W Old US Hwy 441, Mt Dora, FL 32757
Dutch of course! Please join us for further beekeeping discussions and a great meal!

UF Honey Bee Lab has on line courses (for a nominal fee) https://entnemdept.ufl.edu/.../online-extension-courses/ But have started a YouTube page Beekeeping Academy for no charge. https://www.youtube.com/playlist... Both are awesome resources for all levels of beekeeping. These resources will help you make an educated decision if beekeeping is right for you. As well as continuing education and solutions for existing beekeepers. Because the more we know the more we don't know.

Lake County Beekeepers Club of Florida is a growing organization. Our mission is to provide resources to promote successful beekeeping using proven techniques and procedures in the management of honeybees and to share this knowledge with anyone interested. The Club meetings are held every first Thursday of the month at the Lake County Extension office, 1951 Woodlea Rd, Tavares, FL 32778. We start at 6:30 with a pot luck dinner and the meeting begins at 7. Here we give advice and information regarding hive management, advice for both the new and seasoned beekeeper and much more! We participate in community events and have club power buys quarterly in order to save money for our members on beekeeping supplies. The club has hives and members are invited to work with them on a monthly basis to gain experience in beekeeping. Check our calendar for our next event!
