CANTON -- The monthly gathering Bees & Beekeeping Discussion Group will be held Oct. 26 at 7 p.m.

All novice to advanced levels of beekeepers are welcome to ask questions and share in the successes and challenges of beekeeping in a casual group setting. It is free, though small donations are appreciated for workshop creation.

The location is the Betty Evans Community Room in the new wing of the E.J. Noble Medical Bldg. at 80 E. Main Street in Canton, NY. The entrance is on the left side, at street level, next to the E.J. Noble Hospital Guild's butterfly and pollinators garden.

The building is next door to the Best Western and across from the Price Chopper on Rt. 11 in Canton, and will have an orange 'Local Living Workshop Site' lawn site near the door.

The Local Living Venture is a community-based organization dedicated to sharing resourceful rural living skills for a capable and healthy community, based in the St. Lawrence River Valley.
