In the Mississippi River Hills of Southeastern Missouri

The Mississippi River Hills Association (MRHA) seeks to develop, connect, and market products that are produced within the region.
Together we seek to strengthen our regional economy while retaining all that is good, for the benefit of future generations.
We also encourage visitors to tour the region, people interested in learning more about rural America - the unique history of the region,
the cultural flavors, the river and the great outdoors, and how great fresh foods can taste.

Beekeepers Workshop

Sent by way of Debi Kelley...

The Eastern Missouri Beekeepers Association is sponsoring a full-day beekeeping workshop for both beginners and experienced beekeepers on Saturday, Feb. 21, at Maritz in Fenton (St. Louis metro area). Two of the best beekeeping instructors in the country will be teaching the courses. This workshop will be the first part of a season-long program that replicates and expands the programs we offered last year for beginners.

We support beginners by helping them procure first-class equipment, and bees, at value prices and by providing instructional workshops and mentoring at critical times of the season. The workshop is an ideal opportunity for anyone who wants to learn more about honey bee biology and beekeeping, or who is considering becoming a beekeeper. Last year's workshop drew over 100 people, and the region gained 80 new beekeepers. This year promises an even larger turnout.
