| Details | Beekeeper and apian advocate Ray Sola will pack up the tools of his trade and buzz over to the Pardee-Morris House for a free presentation on beekeeping and the preservation of the pollinators’ fragile ecosystem. For weather updates check FB/IG or call 203 – 562-4183. Using an observation hive, Sola will cover the basics of beekeeping, and discuss the decline of honeybees and ways to help support them. He will also cover some of the lesser-known uses of honey. He notes that it can be used to help heal wounds and burns, and, if used instead of sugar when baking, can extend the shelf life of baked goods. Sola became interested in beekeeping 16 years ago after meeting a bee-keeping neighbor. Now he is also the owner of Ray’s Raw Honey, and he rescues swarms of honeybees by relocating them to new homes. He enjoys sharing his passion for pollinators and can often be found at local fairs and schools educating the public about them. His mission is to raise the awareness of how vital bees are in supplying food to humans through the pollination process. New Haven Museum thanks its community partners: WSHU 91.1 FM, The Howard Gilman Foundation, Avangrid/UI Lighting Up the Arts, CT Humanities, and Alder Salvatore E. DeCola for supporting the 2023 summer season. |
