PSBA and beekeeping have an important presence at this event and we need your help! As a fundraiser for PSBA Honey Queen Program, the PSBA will sell honey-sweetened ice cream (no waffles at this event). As an educational opportunity, Penn State Extension Educator, Robyn Underwood, will have an education table and will host apiary demonstrations nearby. Please sign up to help scoop/sell ice cream for PSBA and/or to help at the education table or with demonstrations. Choose one or more slots! Work for a few hours then enjoy the show for the rest of the day. Bring friends or fellow bee club members! All are welcome!

If you have questions, please contact Steve Finke (ice cream) at steve@meadowviewbees.com or Robyn Underwood (education and demos) at rmu1@psu.edu.

Signup will become available as event gets closer.
