Interested in being a beekeeper? Join Jill Brzezinski from Buds & Blooms Gardening to discuss the equipment necessary, the cost estimation, location selection and general information to get you started in your new hobby. She will also talk about the many stages of a bee's life and the power of the queen. Jill will be happy to answer any questions at the end of the program.

Jill founded the company, Buds & Blooms Gardening, based on her love of the outdoors with the support of her husband & family. She grew up in the city of Royal Oak and helped her family with small home vegetable gardens. Jill has many fond memories working in the garden with her grandfather. As she blossomed, she worked at several greenhouses, gaining more knowledge and more love for the green industry. Jill raised her children while taking horticulture classes, one at a time, and graduated in 2013 with a degree in Landscape Horticulture. As her children are grown and have homes of their own, Jill is fortunate to dig even deeper into her love of so many new gardens. Her passion grows every year as she has expanded to include beekeeping, maple syrup making, and chicken tending.
