        Join us for the next Avon Valley Bee Buddy catch-up, this time hosted in a fellow Bee Buddy’s shed in Julimar. We’ll be kicking off at 6:00 pm as usual for an evening of beekeeping conversation, good company and shared learning. Bring a plate to share, a chair and a gadget for show and tell. If you've got an interesting piece of equipment that doesn't normally leave the shed because it's bulky, heavy or awkward to transport, this is the perfect opportunity to show it off. RSVP to receive the location details a couple of days before the event. We look forward to another great evening with fellow Bee Buddies.
