Library News - 6/16/08
Tipp City Public Library will welcome Tony Rimkus, of the Ohio State Beekeepers Association (OSBA), when he speaks on bees and beekeeping at noon on Tuesday, July 01.
Over the past few years, beekeepers have sounded a unified warning that our bee population is in decline, and the trend must be reversed to avoid major agricultural losses. Without bees to pollinate many of our fruits and vegetables, major crops would be lost. Compound the potential agricultural situation with the negative impact to ensue with the loss of the honey supply, and it becomes evident that the welfare of these little critters merits serious concern.
In 2007 members of the OSBA recognized the need to act quickly in order to ensure a healthy and productive bee population for the future. Mr. Rimkus will address the current state of bees, the OSBA’s efforts to improve the quality of queen bee stock, how to setup and maintain a healthy and productive apiary, and other beekeeping related topics.
Registration is appreciated. The library provides bottled water for all of its brown bag programs.
