Sat. & Sun., Aug 6 & 7, 2011
Every year in August, Land Between the Lakes holds a Hummingbird Festival Weekend. While the focus is hummingbirds, we also like to highlight other backyard visitors, especially other pollinators. Our theme for this year is "Invite Wildlife Into Your Backyard."
This year, the event takes place on Sat. & Sun., Aug 6 & 7, from 9am-4pm on Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sunday.
There will be booths with some vendors selling some appropriate festival related items and products.
The Houston-Stewart County Beekeepers Association will there with a booth and manned display during to answer and talk visitors about honeybees and beekeeping. We even hope to have an observation hive with live bees to look at.
For more information about the festival at LBL please contact

1-27-11 FROM SCOTT:
Hello everyone,
UT has posted their Beemaster program class schedule for 2011. There are a
total of five classes with two being reasonably close to us, one in
Springfield and the other in Jackson. The fee is $100, but the first 20
people registering (fees paid to UT) get a 50% scholarship for a total cost
of $50. The way I understand it, if you want to drive to Mountain City, the
classes are free (don't hold me to that). At the writing of this there were
still scholarships available.
Also remember if you plan to take advantage of the TAEP grant, this class is
mandatory.
