Hi Beekeepers- I
would like to pass along a reminder about Pollinator Day in Pittsboro. I am
one of the lucky 4H students with OCBA and I will be hosting a booth on
butterflies at Pollinator Day. I have been working on my Girl Scout Silver
Award in educating people about bees and other pollinators. I am attaching the
information from Debbie Roos below. Thank
you, Molly
Carlson ------- Come
join the Chatham County Center of North Carolina Cooperative Extension and the
Chatham County Beekeepers’ Association for our 7th Annual
Pollinator Day Celebration on Saturday, May 10, from 9:00 am til 1:00 pm on the
lawn next to the Chatham Mills Farmers’ Market at Chatham Mills in We
have a great program planned for folks of all ages and all activities are free! The event will be
held rain or shine. You can hear presentations about beekeeping
– how to get started, equipment needs, management tips – from
experienced beekeepers. Watch an expert beekeeper work an actual hive inside a
bee cage (bees inside, participants outside!) and see honey bees up close and
personal. Learn about what to plant in your garden to attract butterflies and
bees and other pollinators. Tour Cooperative Extension’s demonstration Ever
