Responsible Backyard Beekeeping Series: Current State of Beekeeping and Organic Solutions.

The honeybee faces many affronts to its immune system in these days of Varroa mites and climate destabilization. The so-called “Colony Collapse Disorder” now facing beekeepers makes it all the more imperative that local beekeepers, farmers, gardeners and homeowners learn healthy ways to assist the honey bee and other pollinators. Following this class, participants are welcome to stay to meet and discuss beekeeping with others. Light refreshments will be provided.
