I have set up a demonstration apiary in June.  It was used with the Armed to Farm, an organization that helps veterans learn agriculture after they retire.  It will be used for the KY Queen Bee Breeders Association annual meeting on July 20, the KY State University Summer Event on July 27 and three days of youth-oriented events on July 30, July 31 and Aug. 01.
