Maine State Apiarist Jenn Lund will be present "Biosecurity in the Bee Yard, keeping your colonies healthy," Tuesday, Sept. 23, at 6 p.m., at the UMaine Waldoboro Extension office in the large meeting room around the back of the building located at 377 Manktown Rd., Waldoboro.

This presentation is free open to the public, to meet local beekeepers and learn more about the art and science of the craft of keeping bees in their own backyards.

"This is a great opportunity for all beekeepers to learn more about actions to guarantee a healthy bee population throughout the year," said Knox Lincoln County Beekeepers. "You will have a more beautiful garden, as well as your neighbors’ gardens within a 2 mile radius of your hives. Feel good about building a connection to nature and become more attuned to our changing climate, pesticide usage and natural habitat loss."

"We believe that honey bees play a vital role in our ecosystem, and that it is our responsibility as beekeepers to protect and nurture them," said BLCB. "We are all part of nature and we should be taking care of it. By working together, we can make a difference in our communities and ensure a bright future for honey bees and the people who care for them."
