If you are a beekeeper who might need some help, we offer a mentor program to our members. Mentors are club members who offer their time and knowledge to assist novice beekeepers where possible. Please feel free to reach out to a mentor if you need help. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, forward your information including a little bit about yourself , how long you have been beekeeping and any other relevant info you think is important.
