Event Details
The Lackawanna Backyard Beekeepers are a Beekeeping group in (but not limited to) Lackawanna County. Our mission is to foster interest in backyard beekeeping and provide a forum for discussion among local beekeepers. Whether you are already a beekeeper, are interested in becoming a beekeeper, are interested in honeybees, or have land that you would like to use to help sponsor a beehive, then this is the place for you. Beekeeping and honey bee information is exchanged in an informal and friendly environment to help keep our honeybees (and other pollinators) healthy and thriving. Families welcome. This meeting will be held via the Zoom Platform. Please email esandercock@albright.org for your link.
