Description: |
Lecture by Master Bee Keeper Chris Kelly: Starting In Beekeeping at Custer Observatory in Southold, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
Local master beekeeper Chris Kelly will present a one hour lecture on some of the basics of beekeeping. Topics covered will include: the cost of getting started, equipment selection, site or hive placement considerations, and a brief overview of the beekeeping calendar year. Chris will also provide information on purchasing bees and equipment. Q&A follows.
Chris Kelly is a Cornell Master Beekeeper and a Cornell-trained entomologist with 48 years of experience keeping bees. As a former professional beekeeper, he helped develop connections with the leading researchers in Apiculture and maintains a perspective on the pressures of keeping bees today. He was one of the founding members of the Long Island Native Plant Initiative dedicated to the propagation of native plants and is currently the Director of Agricultural Operations for an environmental service responsible for re-vegetation of the eroded dunes on the shoreline and reviving waterfront areas throughout Brooklyn and Queens.
Chris is the owner of North Fork Promise Land Apiaries based in Mattituck, a sustainably managed operation of about 100 hives. In addition, Chris manages about 100 other hives for clients across Long Island. "Teaching people how to start and be successful in beekeeping has been a passion of mine for over thirty years."
Chris and the North Fork Promise Land Apiaries were recently featured by the Suffolk Times in an interview "what we do".
Stargazing will follow the presentation (weather permitting). |
