Participation Waiver
Because activities may involve live bees, uneven ground, and equipment, our waiver ensures everyone is aware of potential risks, collects emergency contact information, and helps protect our volunteers so we can keep offering these events. We only use waiver information in case of emergency - not for email lists or sharing.
Join us in celebrating World & National Honey Bee Day! See you soon!
Please note that this Field Day event will replace our regular monthly meeting for this month. We encourage all members to attend this special event to gain hands-on experience and enjoy the activities planned.
