The significant spring build-up of beehives is underway! The queen is laying at or near full strength, and the colony, if big enough, begins to rear drones (male honey bees) in greater numbers. NH beekeepers are busy with hive management as winter transitions to spring.

Join us for a 30-minute presentation by Science educator and Kearsarge Beekeeper Association member, Laurie Hardt, in the Pavilion to learn more about honeybees. The presentation will be followed by a hive opening and demonstration by Fells Beekeeper John Chadwick.

All ages are welcome. Fells members: Free. Nonmembers: $10 per family. Advanced registration is required as there is a class limit. To reserve your space, email info@thefells.org or call 603-763-4789 x3. Meets at the Gatehouse classroom.
