Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Big Sandy Federal Prison Administration requested assistance from the Martin County Extension Service to offer classes relating to beginning Beekeeping and gardening.
The initial visit conducted by the Agent and President of the local beekeepers group consisted of selecting a site for the Bee Yard, as well as taking soil samples for the garden plot.
The Small Farm Specialist from Kentucky State University was contacted to assist with beginning classes in beekeeping and gardening. The classes were a great success according to comments made by the administration as well as members of the classes.
Everyone involved is looking forward to the next series of classes and installation of Honeybee colonies and garden project.
