Free VA beekeeping course for veterans and dependants...

I was going through some emails and found this. A nine month online course, and having a working apiary is not a requirement. Figured it might be god to brush up on some of the finer details...and newer methods, as it has been over forty years since I have had bees.
Sign up deadline for the course is 2/28 iirc.

Beekeeping is not a nationwide VA program, but VA does offer it at select locations. Veterans should check with their local recreational therapist to see if a program is in their area. In addition to VA programs, many nonprofits offer support for Veterans to get into beekeeping.

Heroes to Hives offers a Veteran program. Dr. Adam Ingrao, himself a Veteran, offers a nine-month program online. Veterans throughout the U.S. can participate in the online portion of the course. Deadline submission is Feb. 28. This program is provided free to all Veterans, Reservists, National Guard, active duty personnel and dependents of those individuals.

For 2021, on-ground instruction will take place at the following locations (note COVID restrictions may prevent some or all on-ground sessions in 2021):

Michigan (offered by Michigan State University Extension): Benton Harbor, Hickory Corners, East Lansing, Novi, Newberry, and Escanaba (students outside of Michigan are welcome to travel to these workshops).

Missouri (offered by the University of Missouri Extension): Warrensberg.

Minnesota (offered by the University of Minnesota): Minneapolis and Rochester.

Nebraska (offered by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln): Lincoln.
