Join Transition Bluffton and Jon Tuttle for a field presentation on small scale beekeeping. We will meet Tuesday, June 18, at 7 p.m. at Little Riley Creek, Jon and Amanda’s organic farm.
The farm is located at 9255 Lugabill Road, about three miles south of Bluffton. Tuttle will give a primer on beekeeping basics, including hive location and equipment.
There will be time for questions and answers. This will be a good demonstration of how we can respond to the declining bee population throughout the country.
If you've driven on County Line Road south of the village park, you've noticed a new yellow stripe recently painted. As summer rolls on you'll see more and more road crews with yellow paint.
