Honeybees help us in so many ways and now that the bees are struggling a bit, beekeeping has grown to become a fun and fulfilling family activity! Using pictures and real apiary equipment, we'll take a look into the honeybee world. Learn all about what the honeybees do for us, the role of the beekeeper and how enjoyable it is to work with bees. Beekeeper Ned Farrell will feature information on the various types of bees in a hive, how honey is made, and more. The session will give the audience an understanding of basic bee biology, how bee society works and the importance of bees to humans and agriculture. The program will introduce you to all the proper equipment you need to get started with your own beehives. Ned Farrell is a Beekeeper and owner of The Bee Happy Co.
