It is brought back by popular demand, a Beekeeping Awareness Class at the Smithfield Recreation Center. Those attending will have a chance to learn about the basics: how to set up a beehive, learn more about beekeeping and about the equipment that is used.
The class will be taught by Kurt Etherington who started beekeeping in 2006 with one hive as a hobby. He has enjoyed working with the bees and learning much more about them. The Beekeeping Awareness Class will be held Friday, Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. at the Smithfield Recreation Center, 315 East 600 South in Smithfield.
The class is free. For more information, call Jamie at 563-9483.
