Invitation Only Beechworth Beekeepers Day - Limited places (Bookings essential)
- Duration: 6 Hours

Beechworth Honey is pleased to invite you and your team to an invitation-only event at Bee School by Beechworth Honey.
We have brought 2 of the world's most useful speakers to Australia to speak at the Queensland Beekeepers Conference, Norberto Garcia and Etienne Bruneau. We realise that many of the beekeepers we deal with can't make it to Townsville so we're holding a day in Beechworth to allow them to share their knowledge with you.

Where: Bee School by Beechworth Honey - 87 Ford Street Beechworth
Accommodation:
