Oregon Master Beekeeper Program (OMB) - Boise Satellite
February 15, 2025 - OSU Apprentice Level Class of 2025
The Oregon State Master Beekeeper class for 2025 has risen to nine students. Instructors, Ben Lafon, Jim McMahon, Vic Otto and Karl Bokenkamp all did an excellent job sharing their beekeeping skills and techniques to the 2025 class. Other mentors were present to pitch in where needed to give differing opinions of how they keep bees. Remember, beekeepers have various ways of beekeeping but all have the same goal in mind...keep our bees healthy and productive. The TVBC and OSU want to give a shout out to Jim McMahon for supplying the shop for the OSU 2025 class...WE very much appreciate his generosity and bee loving expertise. And also, a big thank you to Jeff Bergland for keeping the OSU program up and running at full speed every year.
