Nash’s final film
SEQUIM — The Winter Film Series at Nash’s Farm Store will come to a close with the documentary “Eating Alabama” at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 2.
The film is free and open to the public.
Donations are accepted.
In “Eating Alabama,” a young couple returns home to Alabama, where they set out to eat the way their grandparents did — locally and seasonally — as they search for a simpler life.
As they navigate the agro-industrial gastronomical complex, they soon realize that nearly everything about the food system has changed since farmers once populated their family histories.
Nash’s Farm Store is located at 4681 Sequim-Dungeness Way.
WWIN scholarships

Beekeeping class
SEQUIM — Corwin Bell of www.BackYardHive.com in Colorado will give two classes on natural beekeeping at Nash’s Farm Store, 4681 Sequim-Dungeness Way, on Saturday, April 5 (beginner), and Sunday, April 6 (intermediate), from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Each class costs $75. Participants may take both for $125.
Pre-registration is required at www.BackYardHive.com.
For 19 years, Bell has promoted a “backyard” hive method and philosophy in which he encourages individuals to connect with bees through an altruistic “guardianship” that goes beyond hobbyist beekeeping.
The beginner class will include basic bee ecology and communication, why they are a “super-organism” and the importance of honeybee genetic diversity.
Hive setup, obtaining bees and catching a swarm also will be covered.
The intermediate level is for graduates of the beginner class and those who already have hives.
It includes in-depth relationships with bees and the intimate workings of the colony and brood nest.
Participants will learn about queenless hives, over-wintering and extracting products.
