Beekeeping Workshop–Weekend Intensive

Top Bar Beekeeping Intensive Weekend Workshop

Sat Oct 27 8:30-4  Sun Oct 28 8:30-4  includes breakfast & lunch with organic and locally grown foods.

117 Ridge Road Hollis NH

“I cannot recommend strongly enough the importance and outright fun that this class can deliver. I have signed up for a top bar hive as a result and can hardly wait to roll down my sleeves and become a member of the bee keeping world. If you have ever thought that you might want to know more about tending wild bees and are looking for a perspective that draws the best from age-old practices and explores the newest methodologies of organic bee keeping, this is the class for you. Enjoy!”
Sincerely,
Des FitzGerald

“I just attended Christy’s Weekend Intensive bee class and found it to be a perfect introduction to the fine art of bee keeping. Christy’s style lends itself to a class full of exploration into the fascinating life of the honey bee. I learned how important this insect is to sustaining our agricultural and natural systems and how imperiled they are by the same practices that have brought industrial agriculture to the unsustainable place it now occupies.”

Work of 1000-Environmental Success Story

Work of 1000:  The Clean-up of the Nashua River

May 2, 2012 6:30-8 pm

Hollis Brookline High School Auditorium.

Free. Donations accepted. Reception to follow.

 

One person can make a difference. “The Work of 1000″ tells the story of Marion Stoddart, who mobilized clean-up of one of America’s most polluted rivers – for herself, for her community, and for future generations – and, in doing so, became a citizen leader honored by the United Nations. This program, a 30-minute film complemented by a personal talk with Marion herself, provides a gripping profile of an ordinary citizen who realized her power to make a difference. Civic, educational, and professional organizations are using this program to build leadership skills and give people confidence that they can make a difference in crucial social issues. Co-Sponsored by Beaver Brook Association, Hollis Social Library and HBHS Green Club.
