Workshop: Beekeeping — Second Hive Inspection

Come see how the bees are faring in the Washington D.C. summer. Jon will conduct the second hive inspection of the summer, looking to see that the bees are healthy and that they are producing honey. Beekeeping is a natural next step in understanding how important knowing where our food comes from and sustaining it safely. Bees also serve as a great indicator of environmental health. If the bees are healthy, we should be too! He will continue to work with anyone interested in apiaries. Also, there is a contest for the person who can come up with the greatest name for our Queen bee. Stop by the farm and if you see Jon, say hello and suggest one!
