Keeping You in the Loop

With the onslaught of the pandemic and with it the closing of traditional forms of education, the Honey and Pollination Center found itself trying to understand how best to move forward. Over the course of the year, we have run 3 on-line programs. Each one quite different from the one before: a mead sensory course, a honey sensory training and a program on honey adulteration. With each program we learned more and more about the issues of working online. With our new mead course, Getting Creative, we are putting together some creative concepts that we developed over the past 14 months. The success of this program will rely on you!

Mead: Getting Creative

May 21-22, 2021

This year’s first mead program features an award winning selection of presenters, each presenting specifically in their area of expertise.

Enrolled students will receive 10-25% discount on all mead purchases for the course. Included with each enrollment will be a copy of The Art of Mead Tasting and Food Pairing by Chrissie Zaerpoor and select honeys for tasting and analyzing.

Honey Adulteration Symposium

Over 100 people attended the Center’s first Honey Adulteration Symposium to learn first hand from those who are working in the area or are directly affected by situation. Attendees came from a very diverse cross section of the country, from beekeepers to lawyers and honey packers.
