So we tried to be all organized and set up the year’s worth of Beekeeper meetings in advance.
We all know how that worked out!
Not to be deterred, we are going to have a ‘virtual’ beekeepers meeting using the Zoom platform.
We hope to ‘see you there’!
To get the full details, be sure to sign up for our email list and we’ll send out all of the information towards the end of the week.

e are very pleased to announce that Grai St. Clair Rice of Honeybeelives.org in New Paltz and NYC will be kicking off our 2020 program of educational sessions on Saturday, January 11 with her presentation entitled: “Honeybees in the Garden: A Dance with Evolution.”
Grai is an organic beekeeper, as well as a writer/ photographer/ filmmaker. Grai is also founder of the contemporary Ulster County Beekeeping Association.
Her talk on Honeybees in the Garden was selected by scientists at the September 2019 Apimondia Conference in Montreal. Grai prepared a poster display for this biannual international congress, which she will share with us along with her talk.
Grai says that she adapted this talk to follow her interest in supporting a deeper understanding and appreciation of the importance of honeybees, and the fascinating way that flowers and bees have co-evolved over millions of years.
