Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
One of my 4-Hers, who was in my 4-H Bee Club, took what she learned from the club and has started her own hives! In our 4-H bee club 4-Hers helped with hive maintenance every 2 weeks, helped install a new queen, and learned the importance of pollinators in agriculture. My 4-Her decided she wanted bees after learning how they benefit crops and agriculture in general. Her family grows a lot of produce for our farmers market so they decided to invest in bees to see if they can increase their yield on their crops. I have been able to help her and her family by sharing UK Extension beekeeping publications, connecting them with local beekeeping resources, and helping them assemble and place their hives. I will continue to help them as they start as beekeepers and my 4-Her will be able to be a leader in my 4-H bee club this year.
