Queen Rearing Workshop: (Sorry Sold out) Jennifer Berry will be offering a two-day queen rearing workshop for 25 individuals, July 28-29th during the Short Course. There will be no extra charge, but participants have to sign up for the entire two-day workshop because the courses are designed sequentially. There will also be a Q&A session along with checking on grafted cells for a few hours Wednesday morning in the beeyard. This is an amazing opportunity for EAS attendees to learn from one of the best queen producers in Georgia. For more information, please check out the course curriculum below. This queen production workshop is being funded by a generous grant provided by Monsanto.
