My friend Julie Rosenbaum is a new bee-keeper. She really knows a lot, and agreed to give a tour and presentation about bees to the local Audubon Society.
Here, Julie is showing the honey extraction room and equipment.
Outside, Julie really captured the audience's attention! We had 15 people at the field trip, and they all were curious and had great questions. Here, Julie is showing them a solar-powered beeswax melter.
Julie is decked out in her special bee-keeping jacket. It protects her from stings to her arms, face, and torso.
Julie described the anatomy of the hives, and the social system of the honey bees. By using pheromones and a mental map of their hive location, all the bees know which specific hive they belong to. Amazing! Do I have awesome friends, or what? Thank you Julie!
