Event Description
Honey bees are an essential part of our ecological sustainability. Honey bees, however, are disappearing at an alarming rate and while there are many theories about the cause, there are no clear-cut answers. On October 2, join the Montgomery County Beekeepers' Association and Temple University Ambler for the first Southeastern Pennsylvania Honey Bee Symposium - Bee Fest! This event has an ambitious schedule and a full day of education and fun! Speakers will include Jerry Hayes, Chief of the Apiary Inspection Section of the Florida Department of Agriculture and author of the “Classroom Column” in the American Bee Journal; Dr. Christina Grozinger, Associate Professor of Entomology at Penn State University; Adam Finkelstein and Kelly Rausch, own and operators of VP Queens; and the Ambler Campus’ own Jenny Rose Carey, Director of the Ambler Arboretum of Temple University. During this public symposium, participants will learn about: honey bees and beekeeping; the latest honey bee and queen bee research, how to breed productive and hardy queen bees, honey and products from the hive, and bee-friendly plants. |
