Thank You for coming along with us on our journey.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have just completed three great Introduction to Beekeeping classes that allowed people to see what it might take to start their beekeeping adventure. I would like to thank Growing Veteran<\/mark><\/a>s<\/mark><\/a><\/strong> in Lynden for fully supporting us with space to host our events and where we will establish our apiary. Next, I would like to acknowledge our founding members for all of their support and ideas to make this happen. A special recognition goes out to GRuB and Healing Through Hives<\/strong><\/mark><\/a> for backing the education program for all participants. Please consider donating time or money to any of these worthy organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n North Cascade Beekeepers<\/strong> we have received a couple of hives that will be used for education purposes through a generous donation from the Stephanie and Jesse Barmann<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0This will surely get us off to a great start.\u00a0\u00a0Our Beginner Beekeeping Certification classes will begin on Mar 1st.\u00a0\u00a0Many people have signed up and may need a second class, perhaps later in the year.\u00a0\u00a0Classes will be conducted along Washington State Beekeepers (WASBA) <\/strong>guidelines.\u00a0\u00a0Everyone is welcome to attend events at Growing Veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A separate component of the group is the Cascade Queen Rearing Group<\/strong> for those who are serious about trying different methods of starting locally adapted queens all the way through the start of a new hive. Our hope is to not rely on queens imported from other parts of the country that may not thrive in our region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
