A, Bee, Cs of Beekeeping at the Gallupville House

GALLUPVILLE – Interested in Bees?  Come to the Gallupville House Associations Beekeeping Event on Saturday, March 22 at 2 PM to learn more.  The program called A, Bee, C’s of Beekeeping will present beekeeping and practical ways to support our buzzing friends. This will be presented by Beekeeper Bob Muller, owner and operator of Sun Mountain Apiary and Honey Store, and Rosemary Mix, President of Wild Ones Capital Region, NY.

Whether you are just casually interested in honeybees and beekeeping or thinking of getting into beekeeping, this presentation is for you!  This fun seminar will give a short overview of the importance of bees, bee biology, equipment used, where to get bees, costs, and tips for how to start down the road of being a successful beekeeper.

Both honey bees and native bees face great challenges with their food supply. The use of pesticides combined with habitat loss serve to reduce the amount of forage for these important pollinators.  Learn why native plants are important sources of food for pollinators and how to begin planning to add native plants to your garden or landscape.

Admission is free, but donations are always appreciated. Beautiful pottery crafted by our talented Gallupville House members will be available for purchase.   For more information visit www.gallupvillehouse.org.  Don’t miss it – March 22 at 2 PM – the A, Bee, C’s of Beekeeping!
