Saturday, June 30
2pm to 4pm
Presented by Chatham Conservation Partnership
Join Chatham Extension Agent Debbie Roos and the Chatham County Beekeepers Association for a special look at the wonderful world of bees and pollinator gardens. See honey bees in a hive and learn about their life cycle and beekeeping. Guides will discuss the importance of bees and pollination, and show plants that attract bees and other pollinators. Visit a honey bee hive at the Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) campus in Pittsboro, then tour Cooperative Extension’s demonstration Pollinator Garden at Chatham Marketplace (visit the garden website at http://bit.ly/95ZS1C). The beekeeper will use a "bee cage" which is a screen wire enclosure for a hive of bees. Participants will stay on the outside of the bee cage so there is no need to wear protective clothing. The tour will begin at the CCCC-Pittsboro campus apiary near the Hwy 64 entrance for the bee case demonstration, and then participants will drive to the Pollinator Garden.
Register for this event by calling 919-545-8044.
