Watch Honey Bees Choose Their Home! Hosted by the Finger Lakes Land Trust Saturday, June 25 - 10:00 AM Roy H. Park Preserve - north entrance<http://www.fllt.org/preserves/roy-h-park-nature-preserve/>
Tom Seeley, Cornell University biologist and the world's leading expert on honey bee behavior, will provide the rare opportunity to watch and discuss the fascinating, democratic process of a honey bee swarm choosing its home. This outing will involve watching, up close, a live swarm of honey bees. Although honey bees can sting, swarm bees are homeless and are not defensive, so the risk of being stung is exceedingly low. Honey bees are fair-weather creatures, so this talk will only be held if the weather is warm and dry at the appointed time.
