Beekeeping 101 Event is the Bee’s Knees!

Posted on August 9, 2018August 9, 2018 by Laurie Neuerburg

There was a lively “hive” of people at the Sciences Library for Beekeeping 101!

We heard an informative talk about bees and beekeeping from Jim Davis.

Then we made a bee-line for the courtyard to take a closer look at bees and how they compare with other insects.

Finally, some of us acted out the waggle dance of the honey bee!

A huge thanks to Jim Davis of the East Central Iowa Beekeepers Association and the Iowa City Science Booster Club for making this an enjoyable and educational day for everyone!
