Honey Bees in the Garden with Amy Antonucci

Date: 
Wed, 08/17/2011 - 10:00am - 12:00pm

Appreciating Honey Bees in the Garden and Ecosystem

Amy will present a workshop on the goodness honey bees bring to our gardens and to all of our world. Looking back in time at the evolution of bees, then peering into the darkness of the hive to look at the biology and society of these fascinating creatures, we will glimpse the amazing lives of honey bees. We will touch on the issues facing bees and other pollinators, why it matters to you and how you can help them.


Amy Antonucci is a certified permaculture designer, beekeeper, chicken-keeper, student of herbal medicine, and has worked in organic agriculture for over ten years. She has spoken at libraries, schools, garden clubs, at the NOFA-NH winter conference, and been interviewed on the radio.

 

The workshop will include a lecture on bees in the ecosystem, useful handouts, and a visit to beehives and gardens to see the practical aspects of beekeeping.
