Beekeeping for Beginners
Sun., June 5, 2022

Want to learn about Honey bees or the Honey making process? Come join us for this workshop with YFP's beekeeping mentor, Gil Menda.

Raw honey preserves the aroma, flavor, and texture of the honey. Visit Gil's Tiktok to find out more about this workshop's facilitator and his bees. This event is free.
