Purdue Field Day gives participants a chance to get “in the hives” for some quality hands-on training. This year’s event will be held Saturday, June 15, at the Beck Agricultural Center located at 4550 US 52, West Lafayette, IN 47906. This location provides us with an indoor area for eating, and if (as in 2021) the weather turns bad or it gets really hot, we will all be comfortable indoors!
Purdue Research Lab will again have hives available for the hive sessions. Everyone will
be required to wear a beekeeper’s hat and veil at a minimum for this hands-on event.
The cost for this year’s event is $35.00, which includes lunch. Registration will close on June 8. Those who miss the registration deadline may attend the event as a walk-in (i.e., bring your own lunch or lunch on your own).
