Adventure Pass Changes in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Des Moines Public Library’s Iowa Adventure Pass program will no longer be available in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. We hope to reintroduce the service at a later time, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Program Description

Event Details

Introduction to Beekeeping. In addition to honey bees being incredibly fascinating, there are many reasons to become a beekeeper. Beekeeping can become an interesting and rewarding hobby, and for some people it can become a business. In this short course, attendees will learn all about managed honey bees and what they need for year-round success – equipment, food, shelter, and more. Plenty of take-home resources will be available.
