Community Gardening around the Village: The Buzz about Bees Online
Learn all about honey bees with a local beekeeper! Get a look inside a hive during a walk through of a honey bee hive inspection with a beekeeper and prepare all of your bee and pollinator questions for live Q&A time at the end. We'll also cover pollinator-friendly plants to include in your gardens to help not just honey bees but our native pollinators as well.
Melissa Jaarsma has been a beekeeper since 2015 and is going into her 7th season of beekeeping in Phoenixville. Her hobby grew into a business in 2019, selling local, raw honey at area farmers markets.
