I enrolled in a community college course about backyard honey bee hives - Backyard Beekeeping: Back to School. That course is in May after the Save the Bees Challenge has completed. My wife pointed out to me that our local Parks and Rec has a workshop on native bees this month.
I decided that I'd check this out since it could give me some ideas as to how to use The Finisher's prize in the challenge. It would be interesting to see if I could successfully start from wild bees rather than buying cocoons.
