Join Leonard and Dolly Rickerman, owners of Rocky Mountain Bee Supply, to cover the basics of beekeeping before deciding if this is the hobby for you. Beekeeping on the Front Range requires specific practices for your colony to thrive in this climate. They’ll give an overview of the information and equipment necessary to begin beekeeping and bring examples of their equipment for participants to view.
