EVENT DESCRIPTION

Teaching Children and Adults about Honey Bees

As beekeepers and bee-enthusiasts, it is important to share our knowledge and appreciation of bees. Four of MCBA's members, Alice Gambino, Carol Ossi, Jed Jaffe & Phil Frank, will share their varied approaches, tips, and tricks to help you engage your audience, whether they are tots, teens, adults or seniors.

SPEAKER BIOs

Phil Frank is a Certified Master Beekeeper, with credentials from both Cornell University and EAS. For more than 9 years he has been MCBA's webmaster, converting the membership process from all paper to all online. This has saved MCBA many thousands of dollars in postage alone. In the 'real world', Phil's 45+ year career as a science journalist let him share important facts and interesting stories via television (CNN, National Geographic, etc.), but beekeeping opened the world of giving in-person presentations, which he thoroughly enjoys. Phil's live bee-talk audiences range from elementary school kids to assisted living residents. Each spring a school bus of 1st graders visits his kitchen to view his hand-built observation hive. A video of his hive, as well his co-authored (with MCBA member Frank Linton) photo book "Hive Tour: The Insider's Guide to Honey Bees" can be seen here: https://montgomerycountybeekeepers.com/observation-hives/
