The Buzz on Bees
Fee:
$92.00
Date/time:
Sunday, July 18, 2010 10:00am - 4:00pm with local bee keeper extraordinaire - Jay Mowat
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. Then, get suited up in veils and gloves and take a tour of the actual hive to look for eggs, larva, nectar, honey and pollen.
