The club was originally called the J Bee-keeping School of Melbourne, and was led by Stan (Stanko) Starc. The club&#8217;s meetings were held in Kirnova Ko\u010da (Kim&#8217;s Hut), a small hall that had been dedicated to the beekeeping club by Jadran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The club&#8217;s goal was to promote beekeeping and to teach new beekeepers the best practices for keeping European honey bees. The club held monthly meetings where members could learn from experienced beekeepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to raise awareness of beekeeping and to promote the club and its products, the club started an annual Beekeeping Festival. The festival is still held every year on a Sunday in early March. The festival attracts visitors from all over the region, and features a variety of activities, including beekeeping demonstrations, honey tastings, and educational exhibits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The J Beekeeping Club is a valuable resource for beekeepers in the Melbourne area. The club provides a supportive environment for learning and growing, and it helps to promote the importance of beekeeping to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The J Beekeeping Club Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>President: <\/strong>Mick Symczycz<br><strong>Secretary:<\/strong> Kevin O&#8217;Sullivan<br><strong>Treasurer:<\/strong> Heather Samsa\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The J Beekeeping Club The J Beekeeping Club was founded in 1994 by volunteer members of the Slovenian Australian Community and Sporting Club Jadran.
