This event, originally done by UF Bee College has been a successful and popular honey bee extension event in Florida and has provided training and instruction for new beekeepers, and helped refine techniques/skills by seasoned bee keepers.

It will consist of morning lectures and afternoon workshops on a variety of topics from initial bee keeping to producing queen honey bees. There will also be a group discussion on the state of honey bee research, extension, and instruction efforts in the Caribbean.
