    We should have been able to see a physical behive. We should have been able to at least hold and get a better look at the head cover.

    The guys were knowledgeable, informative, entertaining, and I learned quite a bit. I am now interested in the skill of beekeeping and truly a fan of the New Jersey Beekeeping Association.

    The teachers did not seem particularly engaged or organized and we did not get any hands on experience. They clearly had alot of experience themselves and alot of information to convey but as a newbie, I didn't think the information was easy to digest.
