Honey bees not only produce delicious honey for our enjoyment, they also provide valuable pollination of our local flowers, fruits and vegetables!
Save Our Pollinators: An Introduction to Beekeeping is a free workshop designed to provide a strong foundation of knowledge to those interested in backyard beekeeping. Bring along your questions and join us as Caren Jones of Ruhl Bee Supply discusses beekeeping essentials for the beginner, including how to get started, bee biology, and required equipment. Erik Carr of Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District will also share some easy steps for improving pollinator habitat in a residential setting, including naturescaping basics and pollinator plant selection.
The workshop is FREE, but space is limited. Please RSVP to save your seat by contacting Cathy at [email protected] or call 503-210-6000. Attendees will be entered into a drawing for a hand-crafted mason bee box. Light snacks and refreshments will be served.
