A DISCUSSION TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON OUR BEE POPULATION
Monday, December 5th, 2016
5:30 PM
Rye Public Library

Rye, New Hampshire

Bees are losing their habitat due to climate change – changing temperatures and weather conditions has restricted the areas where bees can survive.  While climate change threatens many species, bees and other pollinators have received special attention because of the important role they play in agriculture and supporting our food supply.
 
Learn about the important role that bees play in our ecosystem and agriculture and how we can take climate change action!
 
The program will include a discussion with Joe Marttila, owner of SeaBee Honey and manager of  apiaries at many New Hampshire farms and orchards.  Joe is an experienced beekeeper and will provide background on bee behavior and their importance to our ecosystem and agricultural heritage.
