Thank you for making this task go smoothly!
The Kamloops Branch of the BCHPA meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each second month, except during the summer. Our next meeting is at on Wednesday May 16, 2018. We meet in the Culinary Arts building at TRU, at 6:30pm. Our meetings are not only educational, but offer a chance to meet beekeepers and talk bees; what could be better than that?
