Congratulations to one of our
own. Kathy Scott got interested in bee
keeping about 2 years ago after a great presentation by Franklin County expert
bee keeper Ron Hanawalt made a presentation to the BRFAL chapter.
Kathy, in her usual manner,
took her new found hobby to heart and has become very knowledgeable about bee
keeping in her own right. She keeps 2
bee boxes on her property within a bear proof electric fence.
Armed with her new found
knowledge and always willing to share, Kathy agreed to give a bee keeping
presentation at the Westlake Library on March 12, which turned out to be very
well attended (about 30 people). Kathy
schlepped a large quantity of bee keeping equipment to the presentation for
show and tell. Many questions were asked
(and answered!).
The pictures below give a
little view into the presentation. If
you missed this one and you have an interest in bees, try to make Kathy’s next
presentation. You will find it interesting
and entertaining. We are very proud to
have Kathy as a member of the BRFAL chapter of Virginia Master Naturalists.
