When you mention an idea for some fancy fire starters to another beekeeper... You get sent an Instagram post with a better idea, the wood shavings you need and you get to buy their surplus wax! Thanks Calvin at Bailey Beattie Apiaries. Beekeepers helping beekeepers!

Still some space left. If you are in the URI bee school there is an overlap of dates (2 classes). I can offer those students the first two classes at a time that does not conflict with the URI class.

Edit: The Ramble isn't at the church on Friday. Apparently, I was left off an email thread. Our products are there in a pile in the middle of the room ready for setup tomorrow!

Get your Rambling shoes ready and head out Friday evening and Saturday. We will be at St. James church with some new items!
