🐝 Long sleeves and pants (to reduce the chance of stings)
🐝 Closed-toe shoes with high socks or boots (avoid sandals or open shoes)
🐝 Gloves (recommended, especially for beginners)
What to Bring
🔹 Water bottle – Stay hydrated!
🔹 Notebook & pen – Take notes on techniques and best practices.
🔹 Curiosity & Questions! – This is a learning experience, so come ready to ask and observe.
Whether you're a new beekeeper looking for hands-on guidance or an experienced member wanting to refine your skills, this mentoring session is a great way to gain confidence in hive management.
