Join Us for a Migratory Beekeeping Discussion at Frogs’ Leap Winery!
Don’t miss our upcoming discussion on Migratory Beekeeping, where we’ll offer the opportunity for local Napa County land owners, businesses, and citizens to ask questions and learn more about how migratory beekeeping can affect your local ecology and economy. Delve into the facts and science regarding hive density, pollinator health, and how your farming and land use decisions affect you and your community. This educational event will open up conversation in your region, so you can develop the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure your beekeeping endeavors are sustainable and responsible.
Date & Time: November 7th, 2023, 5PM
Location: Frogs’ Leap Winery, Rutherford

In addition to our panel, we’re honored to have representatives from the Napa Agricultural Department and Napa Board of Supervisors in the audience. They’ll be there to learn and engage in the discussions, providing a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between beekeeping enthusiasts and local decision-makers.
