The Longest Short Course – Class 1
posted on
A very long video from the first lecture classOK! The first class was pretty good if we don’t say so ourselves! We had a great time. Dave was wrong about James teaching while extracting honey. It actually worked out pretty well. If you missed it, DON’T WORRY! We recorded the class and here it is. Be sure to join the fun at PART 2A – the early spring lecture. The lecture class will be on Zoom and be followed shortly by class 2B the first apiary session. Exciting!
