Earth Day in Somerset on April 23, 2017
LCBA members hosted a display table at the recent Earth Day event in Somerset. They had plenty of information to share with visitors about bees and beekeeping, including the LCBA teaching hive and a hive box filled with frames in various stages of development. They even had a real frame of honey on hand to give visitors to the display an idea of just how much honey bees store in their hives.
