Dinner Meeting – Hastings Valley Amateur Beekeepers Association

Our Rotary Dinner Meeting will feature Kevin Williams from the Hastings Valley Amateur Beekeepers Association to provide a talk on all things bees.

Did you know:

1. Honey bees are pollinators for flowers, fruits and vegetables.
2. Bees fly at a speed of 25km/hr
3. Bees produce honey to store as food during the winter
4. When the Queen dies, the workers select a new Queen from a young larva (the newly hatched baby insects) and feeding it a special food called “royal jelly“. This enables the larva to develop into a fertile queen.
5. There are three colonies per hive – Worker Bees, Drones and the Queen Bee
