The June 19th class will be at the Jarrett Center at the Byron forest preserve in Byron. The class will be from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm and lunch will be provided.

The agenda for both classes will consist of the following:

Class members will leave with a grafting tool, cell bar and cups to be able to start when they return home.

If conditions are good each member should get a live queen cell to take home also.
