Please note that you can go out and work a hive with bees present, and stings are a possibility.  Although we do not require you wear protective gear & clothing to attend, we recommend you do so if it best suits your comfort level.  We do not loan out protective gear.  You are welcome to bring your own.  We do not recommend bringing pets or small children to the class as they can behave unpredictably. Our events take place in a bee yard and attendees assume all responsibility for stings or injuries that may occur.
