“Beginning Beekeeping Classes” are just a week away.

The classes will be held at the Marion County Extension Office starting on Thursday, January 25th. The classes will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. every Thursday evening for eight weeks. Beekeeper Jerry Weldon tells KNIA/KRLS News he wants people who are thinking about becoming beekeepers to understand what they are getting into. Weldon says he wants people to understand the time, investment and money involved in being a beekeeper. The classes are $45 per household which includes a beekeeper’s book, handouts, and a spring field day.
