1st Thursday Nature Tales: Sustainable Beekeeping in Northern Virginia October 1, 2009

From the White House to Northern Virginia backyards, beekeeping is gaining popularity as a great way to eat locally and help the plight of honeybees, where colonies are declining for reasons that are still unknown.

Join us on October 1 when the Prince William Regional Beekeepers share the latest buzz about honeybees to learn more about honeybees and find out how you can help.

Their presentation, followed by a Q&A, will include information on:

* Beekeeping Basics
* Honey Bee Seasons
* Regional Nectar Sources
* What the group is doing to be more sustainable beekeepers
* How to become a beekeeper
