I am the Program Coordinator for nearly 5500 fifth grade students who visit The Oregon Garden in Silverton each year on field trips. We have a highly sought after lesson on honey bees and pollination and we are in desperate need of some new hands-on supplies. We particularly need frames that show cells and old comb. If anyone is cleaning out hives and has no use for old frames, please contact me. I will pick up supplies. Lots of kids will enjoy and learn! Thank you so much.
I can be reached at cquam@oregongarden.org or 503-269-8593. Cindy Quam

I see that I have missed the Oregon Beekeeper intial class at Chemeketa. Do you offer a beginning class or know where I could get introductory training to start my own beehive? I would also be interested in helping out. I live in West Salem. Thank you.
