There are many existing programs to help veterans and beekeepers with disabilities improve their apiculture skills and abilities. Specialties of these programs range from assistive technology to mental health to educational supports for beekeepers. This webinar will address a range of topics related to accessible beekeeping.
Our Presenters:
