We have had Dave Putt, Beekeeper and Master Gardener do programs for adults and he is doing a program for kids in May. He is in northern Macomb County but he might be willing to travel.

We have enjoyed the presentations by Thornapple Woodlands. We have hosted them for the bee presentation as well as the maple syrup presentation. He was very well received.
