We are welcoming back our 4-H Beekeeping Project Leader “Dave Z” this year. Dave has been a beekeeper for 8 years and is actively involved in the core group of the North-Central Indiana Beekeepers Club and serves as the Region 4 Director for The Beekeepers of Indiana. He regularly gives presentations on beekeeping and mentors new beekeepers. Dave currently has a couple hives on a building rooftop in downtown Indianapolis, as well as 5 other hives at two locations in Fishers, IN. He runs both Kenyan Top Bar Hives, as well as traditional Langstroth equipment. Dave and his family (wife Cathy, and three grown sons) have lived in Fishers for over 25-years.
These workshops will be an introductory to the project and open to all 4-H Beekeeping Members. For more information about the project or the workshop, feel free to contact Dave at (317-517-2095) or email (davidz@augustmack.com) or davez_troutman@yahoo.com.
