Bull Session in the Barn: The Wonderful World of Bees

Bull Session In the Barn
“The Wonderful World of Honeybees”
Randy Sue Collins
Saturday, April 7, 2012
Tara Firma Farms

When did Apis Mellifera first arrive on the scene?  How many flowers must be visited by the bees to make a pound of honey? How can we help the bees, as they serve the rest of the natural world? Randy Sue Collins will unravel some of the mysteries that help explain  what makes the Honeybee so crucial to Earth’s ecosystems?

Randy Sue Collins was a full time fine artist until she discovered the wonderful world of honeybees. “My life changed dramatically the day I placed that first hive in my yard,” she says. Randy is a passionate advocate for the honeybee and an avid organic beekeeper with over a dozen hives. She was President of the Sonoma County Beekeepers’ Association in 2011, and invented the patented Hex Hive®. Randy enjoys bringing honeybee awareness and education to the general public.
