This year, Franklin County (Ohio) offered $500 scholarships for beekeeping equipment and a package of bees to people who completed the Central Ohio Beekeepers Association beginning beekeeping workshop. If you are a resident of Franklin County and want to start beekeeping, you'll want to look into this opportunity. Classes usually start in March with a late April package installation.A record number of swarms has been reported this year. Does this reflect reality or are more people reporting swarms with the news coverage on the plight of the bees? If you notice a swarm (a large number of bees congregating in a tree or house), call your local beekeeper or someone on the "swarm list" . Check with your local beekeepers organization for their swarm list. Beekeepers like swarms: free bees. And you may save them from the exterminator.
