SUMMARY:Is Bee Keeping Right for You?
DESCRIPTION:Many people want to keep bees\, they think they can just put them in a box and that’s it – but being a responsible beekeeper is so much more complicated and involved – come and learn the facts of Bee Keeping. \nAbout Instructor Joanna Diamond:\nBorn and raised in South Africa\, Joanna’s goal is to save as many honey bees as she can. Having volunteered for four and a half years for a bee Rescue & Removal charity\, she has assisted with countless bee removals\, is a registered Beekeeper\, and has bee hives in her garden (which is a Certified Wildlife Habitat). She works closely with a South Florida beekeeper and live bee removal specialist whom she highly recommends for live bee removals. Joanna’s message is that honey bees are our best friends and full-time unpaid employees\, working tirelessly for our benefit for no reward\, they are misunderstood and feared unnecessarily\, struggling to survive and we need to do everything we can as a global community to help them. \nSaturday\, October 25\n10:00 am-12:30 pm\nIsland Theater\n$30 members/$40 non members
