Something’s Buzzing At East Brunswick Public Library

Did you know that a single bee colony can pollinate almost 300 million flowers a day? To learn more about these amazing insects, the East Brunswick Public Library is holding the program “Honeybees: A Powerful Pollinator” on Wednesday, September 25 at 7:00 pm.

Angela Juffey, secretary of the Central Jersey Beekeepers Association, leads the program. Topics include the biology of honeybees, the history of beekeeping, why to keep bees, and their behavior in the hive. Attendees will also get to see beekeeping equipment and tools first hand.

“Honeybees: A Powerful Pollinator” is open to adults, teens and families with children in grades 4 and up.

The Central Jersey Beekeepers Association is part of the New Jersey Beekeepers Association. The group works to educate the general public about the benefits and importance of beekeeping.

The program is held both at the library and will be available to view on Zoom. For more information, go to www.tinyurl.com/ebpl92524.
