A2B2 speaker coordinator and liaison Anne Barratt-Fornell said that when the organization held the same lecture last month, community members were so enthusiastic that the Zoom call quickly exceeded its participant limit. The organization even had a guest tune in from England, according to Barratt-Fornell.
For the lecture this Saturday, the organization is ready to speak with up to 500 potential beekeepers.
