Presentation
“The Benefits of Top Bar Hives”
Christy Hemenway, Goldstar Honey Bees, Albion, Maine
“What did bees do before we gave them wax foundation?”
Seeking the answers to the question of what bees did before humans came along to “help”, Christy Hemenway found herself on a bit of a quest!
Christy will demonstrate the features of the Gold Star Top Bar hive, and its focus on natural beeswax. She will discuss how and why natural beeswax is important to the sustainability of honeybees.
Christy will share her experiences as she learned to “think outside the box” with this natural system of beekeeping. She invites questions from her audiences at the end of each presentation.
