Join the outreach and educational teams from the Department of Agricultural Resources—including the Apiary Program, Forest Pest Education Program, Pesticide Enforcement, Animal Health, Farm Viability, Environmental Justice, and Marketing and Finance divisions—along with our partners at the USDA Farm Service Agency and this year’s special guest, the Northeast SARE Program, for a virtual Zoom Webinar. We’ll provide updates on honey bee health and share information about the support services available to beekeepers across the Commonwealth.
Each event will feature presentations covering key updates on regulations, honey bee health, beekeeping practices, pesticides, invasive pests, marketing, grants, and environmental justice, followed by a Q&A session for attendees.
Events will be held virtually via Zoom on Wednesdays from 7–9 pm Eastern/ 6-8 pm Central time and are free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required. Please note that sessions will not be recorded — so BEE THERE or BEE SQUARE! –
