Hands-on Learning
The OSU 1st Year Bee Yard is where new beekeepers are given hands on experience. We install new packages of bees into new equipment and over the summer we inspect the hives. New beekeepers can ask questions of the mentors at the bee yard. Winnie Williams coordinates the OSU 1st Year Bee Yard and can be contacted at: 614 787-3533
