March 11th Class: Bees & Honey

Did you know that bees must visit over 2 million flowers to make a single pound of honey? Or that a honeybee only makes about 1/12 teaspoon of honey in its entire life? If you've ever pondered the bee, or thought about trying your hand at beekeeping, join us on Tuesday, March 11th for a class on Bees & Honey. Tom Foster (who is Tim's uncle and the 7th generation of beekeepers on the Foster side of the family) will discuss the marvelous bee and beekeeping practices. We'll taste honeys from around the world, including the spicy Tasmanian Leatherwood, the bitter Italian Corbezzolo, aromatic Lavender honey from Provence, and discuss delicious, surprising ways to use honey. Come in for a sweetly informative experience and enjoy the liquid gold!
