Swarming

Another exciting presentation this morning with amazing and insightful questions from all levels of the students. Many thanks to STEM teacher Heidi Scarano and Administrator Jessica Devlin for inviting me to speak!
Did a swarm removal and met some old neighborhood friends in the process. Bees bring people together. Hived the very small swarm in the bee yard. We’ll see how well they adapt to their new home.
Was able to capture and hive two swarms earlier this week from Southside Bethlehem and just finished a Bee Talk to the “Heart Mind Soul Nature Preschool” group in Effort, PA. Kids and parents were great! Arrange for your group to schedule a Bee Talk by contacting me. Talks are individually tailored to age and interest Read more

Great time with the kids and staff at Jewish day School today in Allentown. Contact me to present for your social, civic, or education group!
Beekeepers are a very creative group, generally. The challenge of getting swarms or colonies out of tree trunks often creates innovative use of materials!
Swarm call from the Palmer Heights section of Palmer Township resulted in the collection of this nice-sized swarm. You can see one of the girls photo-bombed the picture and wanted to be up close and personal! Call/text/email if you see a swarm!
Talkin bees today at Jacobsburg State Park to a group (100+ and counting) of elementary students and their parents. Great engagement and thoughtful questions by the group.
