OCBA OUTREACH PROGRAM
The OCBA has a number of different events geared to educating the public about the benefits and rewards of beekeeping in our community. The club provides qualified speakers for other clubs, nature centers, and schools (see "Need a Speaker?").
NEED A SPEAKER?
The OCBA can provide clubs, schools, nature centers or other organizations with entertaining and informative speakers. The club has a number of knowledgeable beekeepers that can share their expertise about bees and bee-related products. The speaker's fee is negotiable - our club's mission is to spread the word about beekeeping. If your organization can make a contribution to our club, a donation for a presentation would be gratefully accepted and would further our club's goals. Travel and out-of-pocket expenses may be additional.
To participate in any of these programs, or for additional information, please contact one of the following members:
