What will I learn in the Class?
Mark Gostkiewicz, the Co-Founder of Tri Gable Lea Farm LLC will be presenting this class. Mark has been keeping bees since 2014. In this fun class, he'll walk-through a bunch of projects large and small that you can use to help native pollinators & why you may want to become a backyard beekeeper.
