We just wanted to remind everyone of our Monthly Bee Meeting on Tuesday, March 5th. The meeting location will be at Mocksville First United Methodist Church. For those that are unfamiliar with where the church is, it's a block west of the library, and the meeting is in the meeting hall BEHIND the church.

We managed to book the library for April's meeting and will try and reserve for May meeting as well.

March’s guest speaker is Rob Lelewski, "Learning about beekeeping by leveraging a computerized beehive".
Monthly Q&A after.

Hope to see you there!
