Beekeeping goes back 10,000 years, but bees have been much in the news recently as a multi-pronged scourge has devastated many of the nation's 2.5 million colonies. Meanwhile, hobby beekeeping has grown exponentially in the country.
Bill Mares, writer, and a beekeeper for 45 years, will tell of the origins and evolution of beekeeping, sometimes referred to as "farming for intellectuals," with a particular emphasis on his new book, with Ross Conrad, and others, The Land of Milk and Honey, A History of Beekeeping in Vermont.
Join us virtually on Thursday, November 17 at 1:30 for this program by Bill Mares sponsored by the Community Senior Center with a grant from Vermont Humanities Council. The link is below.
