“Save the Bees” has become a major cultural movement recently, inspiring many to get into beekeeping to try to conserve honey bees. Few people are aware that honey bees are not the only bees in North America though, and that the energy devoted to “Saving the Bees” has largely been misplaced. So where should it be placed? What are these other kinds of bees? And come to think of it, what are bees exactly, anyway?

The meeting will be at the Hap Arnold Center, College Park Airport. Door opens at 7:00.
