Join us for a full day of queen rearing instruction, demonstration and hands-on practice. The specialized cell building and mating colonies required for queen rearing will be set-up on site. Grafting instruction will be hands-on with live honey bee larvae. The workshop will be held on Saturday, April 22 at the Pitt County Extension Center in Greenville, NC.
