Get involved in beekeeping March 4 at 'bee-in'

Ever wonder how you can get involved in keeping bees?

The 2015 "Spring Bee-In" workshop will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, in Fairhaven Room 318.

Discussed at the workshop will be the Outback Apiary Project, beekeeping in general and how the WWU community can be a part of it. Michael Jaross, the Outback beekeeper, will show some slides and talk briefly about the Outback bees and how students, community staff and faculty can be a part of Western's small apiary at The Outback Farm.

The presentation will be short, and then there'll be time for questions. Students who have been working with the bees throughout the past year will be on hand, and attendees will be able to look at and try on some equipment and bee paraphernalia.
