Bee Day @ John Jay

  •  June 18, 2022
     11:00 am – 4:00 pm
Bee Day will consist of three events each Saturday focusing on local bees.
At 11:00 am will be an Introduction to Beekeeping session. This hour-long program is intended to give our guests an opportunity to learn more about the craft of beekeeping. The program will be held at our onsite apiary and led by local beekeeper Dennis (D. J) Haverkamp from Bedford Bee Honeybee Service. Participants will be able to see the inner workings of a beehive close up and experience the wonder of honey bees. Children and adults of all ages will be welcome to attend. The session will be followed by time for questions for those wanting to learn more.
At 1:00 pm will be the Westchester Beekeepers Network monthly meeting. The WBN is a newly formed group intended to help local area beekeepers network and develop more advanced beekeeping skills. A monthly Zoom lecture will be held the Thursday evening before the Saturday meeting for those who are unable to attend in person. The meeting will be held at the onsite apiary and will be the hands-on follow up demonstration of topics discussed during the Zoom session. The upcoming topics for April will be Observation Hives, for May will be Queen Rearing, and for June will be Royal Jelly. For more information visit the WBN website at westchesterbeekeepers.org.
At 3:00 pm will be the Gardening for Bees session. This series of programs is intended to help those who are interested in nurturing bee friendly plantings. With the growing awareness of the importance of bees and pollinators, the interest in bee friendly gardening has grown. We will be learning about good plants for bees, lawn alternatives, soil improvement, weed control, deer resistant plants, and ways to support local native solitary bee populations as well as honey bees. The session will be held at the Bee Garden next to the herb garden.
All programs will be open to the public and no reservation is required. Free admission.
Bee Day at John Jay will be held Saturdays April 16, May 21, June 18, July 16, August 20, September 17, and October 15, 2022. For more information call 914-525-1990.
