Monthly Educational Meeting​
​Always free and open to the public!  
​Date:  Tue, June 14, 2022  |  Time: 7 pm  |  Location: Online on Zoom

The Game of Drones
Honey bee drones are the Rodney Dangerfields of the bee world: they (often) get no respect!​ Learn all about the amazing drones and their mysterious drone congregation areas (and how to find them using the other kind of drone) at this informative talk.
Speaker: Julia Mahood is a Georgia Master Beekeeper who has been keeping bees since 2004. She created the citizen science website MapMyDca.com to gather data on drone congregation areas. Julia was awarded the Georgia Beekeeper of the year in 2018. A graphic artist, she designed the Georgia “Save the Honey Bee” license plate. She is passionate about education and teaches beekeeping in Georgia prisons and is active in her local and state bee organizations.
The main presentation starts at 7 pm, but feel free to sign in starting at 6:30 pm for a beginners Q&A session. See our Facebook page or join via the Zoom link above.

NOTE: Please post questions/comments in the Zoom chat. Facebook is not monitored during our educational meetings.
