The Class Schedule is subject to change. You will be notified of updates to the scheduling or programming, should they occur. However, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure he or she attends their chosen class regardless of changes to the schedule.
Beekeeping activities are dependent on weather conditions and the forecast available leading up to the scheduled event. If the weather turns unfavorable and conditions are not suitable for the beehives to be opened, the class day or timeslot may need be altered, even at short notice. Should foul weather be a possibility, it is important to ensure your class is continuing on the day and at the time expected.
It is a good idea to contact Christi the week before the scheduled class day to confirm arrangements. Whereas she and her team make every effort to inform participants of scheduling alterations, phone calls and E-Mails do not always reach their intended recipient.
Refunds will not be provided for absentees.
