      If you go to the main page there are several other free classes, but you have to register by the 10th. Since you have 60 days of access I signed up for a few that interest me.

      Finished the first bee module this morning at about 4am while tending to the smoker.

        It is through Penn State
        I think the Ag exemption is linked to owned acerage.

                I own 6.6 acres, but it hasn't been in ag. I believe you have to have at least 5 acres.

                  It’s 5-20 for bees and need 5yrs before you can claim it from what I read.

                    I think you are right. I was thinking 5 or 9acres for some reason. I think its 5.

                        NET 5 acres... If you have 5 and a house, you'll fail to qualify, as the homestead part doesn't count. I'm on a hair under 5 acres where I live and I couldn't qualify. You'll need 5.5+. That's at least in my county.

                          That’s not good as I’m 5.44

                                I would guess I have three total hours in it. The last part is graded. You get three tries.
