"A Taste of Honey," a Connecticut College Arboretum workshop with beekeeper Kim Donohue

Bees
account for 80 percent of all insect pollination, but the commercial honeybee
population has been dying off in the past several years. Donohue’s workshop
will cover the lifecycle of these very important pollinators and social
structure in the colony. Participants will get an in-depth look at a Langstroth
hive, helpful information about beekeeping gear and tools of the trade, and some
delicious honey samples. Registration is required. The cost is $15 for
Arboretum members and $18 for the general public. To register, contact Kathy
Dame at ktdam@conncoll.edu.
