250 beekeepers for beekeeping school?
We only have around 320 in the whole province of Nova Scotia!  :D

I should have mentioned that 25 of those beekeepers are volunteers.
We're about to out grow another facility this year.
HAS, also has a conference coming in July, to be held in Albion,MI.
Plenty of bee fun happening this year.

Yes, they offer 2 levels. Beginner and advanced.
We had 75%, that were 2 years or less into their beekeeping endeavors.
Made for a barrage of questions at every turn.  :newhere:

Curt, if your looking for more advanced classes? Then look into the MBA spring conference 2015.
Michael Bush is back to Michigan again, as the key note speaker.

Sweet!!

  I have spoken in depth about setting up something lik that with another beekeeper, he is young and ambitious, so I think it will happen if I can get my new building up.
