Nancy Kilmartin, Sr. Program Specialist, Manatee Park (Lee County Parks
and Recreation) invited Dennis and Keith out again this year to teach the children about
honey, bees, and beekeeping.
Dennis and Keith displayed "live" bees, discussed bee behavior, bee safety,
basic beekeeping hobby, demonstrated equipment use and protective gear,
displayed and discussed what is necessary (behind the scenes look) to
produce the honey conveniently found on the shelves of their supermarkets, plus
discussed the importance of keeping gentle bees in urban areas to keep the bad
bees from taking over and discussed the importance of bees as pollinators
responsible for much of the food we eat.
Special thanks to Nancy for another donation to our association and for
providing the photos. |
