SUMMARY:Film showing: The Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Year: 2019Genre: Documentary – Environmental\nClassification: Check the classification\nProducer: Sally Roy\, Peter Nelson and Michael Reuter\nDirector: Peter Nelson\nThousands of semi-trailers crisscross the country in the dead of night delivering goods through the darkness to stores\, warehouses and factories nationwide. But some of them carry an unsuspected and highly unusual cargo. Honey bees. Tens of billions of them are transported back and forth from one end of the United States to the other in a unique annual migration that’s indispensable to the feeding of America. One out of every three bites we eat\, the growth of almost all our fruits\, nuts and vegetables\, would be impossible without pollination from bees. A new documentary feature\, The Pollinators\, directed by Peter Nelson and produced by Sally Roy\, Nelson and Michael Reuter\, presents the fascinating and untold story. And warns that the bees are in serious danger. \nDetails at tickets

SUMMARY:Meet The Beekeeper
DESCRIPTION:Spend time with a beekeeper in the Boston Area Beekeepers Association’s apiary (bee yard) at MassAudubon’s beautiful Boston Nature Center. Visitors will don beekeeper jackets and hoods\, and work right alongside the beekeeper as they open their hive\, look for honey\, young developing bees\, and a healthy queen. You will learn basic beekeeping techniques for how to grow and nurture happy & healthy beehives. There’s always plenty of time to ask questions\, and if all is well and the bees are having a good day\, you might even get a chance to hold some honeycomb covered with bees!\nSessions run from 10am to noon\, and begin at the Boston Nature Center’s main building\, where we start with a close look at the basic layout of a bee colony inside an indoor\, glassed-in ‘observation hive.’ \nMeet the Beekeeper is suitable for all ages\, but everyone is strongly encouraged to act reasonably calm when in the apiary; while bees rarely sting\, it does happen\, especially when they feel threatened. If you are highly allergic to stings\, or if you don’t know whether you are allergic\, then it is best if you either watch from a distance (+20 feet) or not attend the outdoor session in the apiary.

You will learn basic beekeeping techniques for how to grow and nurture happy & healthy beehives. There’s always plenty of time to ask questions\, and if all is well and the bees are having a good day\, you might even get a chance to hold some honeycomb covered with bees!\nSessions run from 10am to noon\, and begin at the Boston Nature Center’s main building\, where we start with a close look at the basic layout of a bee colony inside an indoor\, glassed-in ‘observation hive.’ \nMeet the Beekeeper is suitable for all ages\, but everyone is strongly encouraged to act reasonably calm when in the apiary; while bees rarely sting\, it does happen\, especially when they feel threatened. If you are highly allergic to stings\, or if you don’t know whether you are allergic\, then it is best if you either watch from a distance (+20 feet) or not attend the outdoor session in the apiary.

SUMMARY:Monitoring your Hives Temperature\, Humidity and Weight
DESCRIPTION:For thousands of years\, beekeepers have only guessed what’s happening inside their hives. BeekeepingIO & BroodMinder is about to change all that.\nWe collect environmental conditions from hives around the world\, then analyze and share that information with curious individuals\, citizen scientists\, and entomologists. We know bees are in trouble\, and that tried and true beekeeping methods are no longer working. \nBy sharing data on a global scale\, we’re showing beekeepers methods that are improving bee survival rates\, using scientific data to back it up\, not worn out traditions. \nCome explore with us what’s happening inside of the hives\, when the covers are on\, and it’s only the busy bees in total darkness\, and the sweet smell of honey. \nAll Beekeepers are welcome\, but we do ask that if you come that you become a member of BABA.
