BRAINARD, NEBRASKA – Beekeepers and landowners are invited to a learning circle on Monday, Sept. 17, from 6 to 8 p.m., at 2030 30 Rd., near Brainard, Nebraska.
“What to expect as a beekeeper or landowner?” will focus on the benefits of co-locating honey bees on cultivated land, as a beekeeper’s secondary location.
Presenters are Kirstin Bailey, of the Center for Rural Affairs; Joette Novak, a landowner; and Bridget Gross, a University of Nebraska - Lincoln graduate student. Bailey is also a beekeeper.
“This event location is my secondary hive location,” Bailey said. “I’ll be able to answer questions, and Joette will talk about her choice to have bees on her land.”
There is no cost to attend. Interested participants are asked to RSVP to Kirstin at [email protected] or at 402.870.2390. Visit cfra.org/events for more information.
