About the topic:

We all know that we keep honey bees because they give us honey. But have you ever tried stir-fried drone pupae? Master Beekeeper Randall Austin will discuss ways that we can properly process, package and label honey… but he will also describe a few of the many other products of the hive that we may not have considered, ranging from wax to live bees for apitherapy to agritourism, as well as pupae on crackers. His talk is designed to both educate and inspire us to take better advantage of the gifts that flow from our hives.
