Charles Schafer instructs us on the fun of Bee Keeping

We know Charles Schafer better as the pub’s illustrious garden maintenance man extraordinaire. However, we recently visited him at home where he was gracious enough to show us one of his bee hives. My Dad, youngest son and I spent a really enjoyable hour or so checking out one of Charles’ honey bee hive. Suiting up in beekeeper’s whites, we got to see first hand how the hive was constructed and what the bees were doing inside. An amazing site.

If you would like more information about bee keeping you can visit the State’s Beekeeper’s Association website to be a wealth of information http://www.wasba.org/
