The Buzz on Bees

With local beekeeper extraordinaire, Jay Mowat.

Note: This workshop will be offered again in 2009

This is an introductory seminar on bees and beekeeping. Learn the roles and responsibilities of the queen, drones, house bees and foragers. Take a look at a year in the life of a hive: how the colony gets through a winter, builds up in the spring, and prepares for summer foraging. And get suited up in veils and gloves and take a tour of the actual hive to look for eggs, larva, nectar, honey and pollen.
