We are having our annual Bee Symposium at the Sebastopol Vets building this March 19th and we need your help.
I want to reach out to the medical community and ask that they attend.
This is truly an opportunity to educate and change minds for the better.
We have a knock your socks off line up of speakers.
The Vets building can hold up to 600 people so we will be able to house more than our usual 175 beekeepers.
The title of the event is “Medicine From The Hive”

Each speaker will speak twice. We will have a morning and afternoon sessions.
Please save the date!
