During Week 2, Nature and Art had a visit from two real beekeepers, Mike Embry and Lisa Ghezzi, who taught the campers so much about honeybee colonies, habits and how to collect honey.
Everyone was very interested in observing the “demo hive” and looking for the Queen Bee.
Extracting honey from the comb was a sticky process. There was a lot of tasting and we all got a sample jar of the liquid gold.
Many thanks to Mike and Lisa for visiting and teaching us so much about bees.
