Bees and Beekeeping

Edgewood Village presents Bees and Beekeeping, an in-person educational gathering with Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban, long-time resident of Edgewood and Professor Emerita in the Department of Anthropology at Rhode Island College, who is also a beekeeper and a beekeeping educator.

Carolyn has become an expert on bees and their contribution to the environment. She reminds us that bees are not aggressive, but defensive and that it will be safe for visitors to stand beside the three hives that are in her back yard (chairs may be brought if needed). She will provide us with the basics of hive sociology, the function of the queen and will describe the role of the worker bees, 90% of whom are female. She will also describe the equipment for honey extraction. Registration is required and is limited to 15 participants.
