The History of Beekeeping in Vermont

Outdoors at Rokeby Museum, Ferrisburgh (or indoors with social distancing), masks required Land of Milk and Honey co-author, experienced beekeeper, and "national beekeeping legend" Ross Conrad will present an overview of the history of Vermont beekeeping with a special emphasis on Addison County, the epicenter of beekeeping in the state. Based on extensive research — including at Rokeby Museum — he will share how beekeeping has changed over the years in response to economic, cultural and environmental changes.
