CBA is excited to invite local backyard beekeepers to a FREE Extraction Day event at the Carriage House in Edgerton Park in Hamden. You bring clean supers of capped honey, and we'll provide extractors, hot knives, and capping tanks. It's a unique opportunity to learn about the honey extraction process hands-on from experienced beekeepers.
