Historical Society to Host Beekeeping Program

February 7 at 7::00 PM, Boyertown Area Historical Soicety will host a presentation about beekeeping by Aaron Deer. "He will be talking about all things bees, from their venom to wax and propolis. Hinterhof Farms was created as a small hobby farm when Aaron moved into his old farmhouse on a one-acre property. He sold some produce, eggs, and poultry meat. Aaron added one honey bee hive in the following spring to have honey to sell along with his other products. After his first year with bees, they ended up dying, and the search for new bees started. He dove into the world of honey bee genetics and its importance for quality bees."
