I'm considering beekeeping. I would like to get some practical experience before making any financial commitments. Is there someone who would let me "help" them/visit their hive? I live in Menard County. thanks!

There are plenty of bee keepers in Menard, Sangamon and adjacent counties. The best way would be to take in a meeting of a local bee keeping association and go from there. Lincoln Land Bee Keepers Association meet the 2 nd Thursday of each month. The next meeting is scheduled for July 11. For more information go to www.lincolnlandbeekeepers.com
