CULLMAN, Ala. – Tractor Supply Company in Cullman is inviting customers to attend an all-new beekeeping event Saturday, June 29, 2019 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Beekeeping 101 will offer attendees the opportunity to learn the basics of beekeeping, including how to safely use the tools and equipment one needs to begin the hobby. Through fun and interactive exercises, attendees will learn about the process of beekeeping and pollination and why it is critical to agricultural production. This session is open to community members of all ages.
“Tractor Supply is excited to embrace the growing interest in beekeeping in our community,” said Jason Bane, manager of the Cullman Tractor Supply store. “Beekeeping is a fun and unique hobby, but most importantly, it’s essential to sustaining a healthy ecosystem. This course will teach our community how they can create a positive impact on the agricultural industry while making their own honey.”
Bees are critical to agricultural production, especially during bloom period, because they pollinate blossoms and are often a grower’s only chance for their crops to bloom that season. Without bees transferring pollen and seeds from flower to flower, vegetation quality suffers.
Beekeeping 101 will be held from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and is open to the public.
Tractor Supply is located at 1731 Second Ave. SW. For more information, contact the store at 256-775-4445.
