The Buzz on Beekeeping January 19, 2011

Learn the art, science, and craft of beekeeping from Beekeepers' Warehouse owner Nancy Bentley Mangion. She will discuss equipment, site requirements, environmental benefits, and a bit of the history of beekeeping. She will also touch upon beeswax crafts, the medicinal uses of honey and beeswax, and have honey for tasting and purchase. There's much to learn and gain through a closer connection to these vital pollinators. (Note: for an in-depth series in your area, consult the Massachusetts Beekeepers Association for a list of Bee School programs.)
