Beekeeping

Last Friday (March 25, 2011), I attended the MGV Brown Bag at the Milwaukee County Extensions offices.

The topic was "Beekeeping."

The presenter was Harris Byers.


I have heard Harris Byers speak before, and he is passionate about bees.

He talked about the biology and ecology of bees, the different races (he recommends Italians for beginners), protective gear, how to set up hives, etc.

It was informative and well worth attending.

There was so much interest in the Q&A session that it went a full half hour overtime.
