"BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS". To keep bees within the Fond du Lac city limits residents must have 7 hours of beekeeping education. Presently, the only other qualifying class is probably in either Greenville (HoneyBeeware) or maybe in Madison.
B. The Fond du Lac Riesterer and Schnell store has a real interest in beekeeping as part of their animal care division and will be carrying some beekeeping equipment beginning this spring! If the program proves to be
successful - it has the potential of expanding to their 11 other locations. It would
give us beekeepers more (closer?) access to all those "emergency" items - extra
frames, extra boxes...and glassware.
C. A 1.5 hour HOW TO GET STARTED presentation by beekeeper Denise
is being held at the Fond du Lac Riesterer and Schnell store on Feb 27th at 9:00am.
This is NOT A CLASS. It's an information gathering session for anyone looking to get started started in beekeeping.

What qualifies as a class that is acceptable to the Fondy powers that be? It's kind of late, but is this something ECWBA could provide? I'd hate it if I had been planning to start this year and I was stopped like that.
The Fond du Lac ordinance Reads: The permit applicant shall have at least seven hours of beekeeping education/training from a local technical college or university. Proof of education/training shall be provided with the permit application
