By Donna Jones, President
Adair County Garden Club

In May the Adair County Garden Club is getting busy with honey bees. The club will met May 22, 2014 at the Adair County Extension Office 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY at 1pmCT. Save this time and BUZZ on over and join us for an UNBEELIEVE time.



Beth Wilson Pulaski County Horticulturist will be here to educate us on honey bees.

Honey bees are not a native bee, but have become extremely important pollinators in the US. Because of this, there are many small scale beekeepers that are helping to keep the bees going despite adversity.

Come learn about the honey bee and their colonies, the biology of the bee and the colony, what it takes to get started in beekeeping, and just a few of the important pests that we must be aware of if we are to become beekeepers.

Any questions can be directed to Donna Jones President of the Adair County Garden Club at (270)634-2125. --Donna Jones

Beekeeping will be the subject of the next Adair County Garden Club meeting, at 1pmCT, at the Adair County Extension Office, 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY, with Beth Wilson, Pulaski County Horticulturist, the speaker. The main focus will be on sustaining bees as pollinators - but a big benefit is also honey, like the comb in product ACGS President Donna Jones sold at the Farmers Market on the Square last July. Interest in beekeeping is on the rise in South Central Kentucky. There are two beekeeping clubs, one of which meets in Russell County, the other in Taylor, And Bill Troutwine - a beekeeper, has given CM a tip on one beekeeper who travels with his bees from Adair County to Mississippi to pollinate cotton! We welcome more on that and other beekeeping enterprises. Bees are basic to sustaining the work of the growing truck farming economy in the area. - EW
