Introduction to Beekeeping

Getting stung by a bee can hurt, but losing honeybees forever can hurt even more! It may be hard to see why honeybees are so important to us, but did you know that one out of every three bites of food we take comes from a pollinated plant or animal that depends on bee pollination? Join Bekki Medsker, Certified Beekeeper, at the Environmental Discovery Center at Lynches River County Park on Saturday, July 5 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, to learn the basics of beekeeping and how you can get started with your own bees! This program is free of charge, but registration is required. Call the EDC to reserve your spot!
