Pocono Garden Club to buzz with bees on Sept. 10

Bees will pollinate the conversation when the Pocono Garden Club meets at 1 p.m. on Sept. 10 at the Monroe County Conservation District, 8050 Running Valley Road, Bartonsville.

Frank Licata from Bramble Ridge Honey Farm in Brodheadsville and Mann Lake Beekeeping Supplies will present “All About Bees.”

Bees are responsible for a third of the food we eat due to their role in pollinating crops. Yet environmental issues are endangering the population.

Participation is encouraged in the monthly design exhibit, titled “farmers Market,” a mass design including sunflowers in a market basket. No accessory permitted.

The horticultural entry would be a dahlia of any color in a clear, glass container. The houseplant entry would be a potted herb. Please bring in your entries 30 minutes before the start of the meeting.

Everyone interested in gardening is welcome to attend.

For more information, contact President Joan Gregorio at joanieg103@aol.com or Vice President Sandy Goddeyne at sandyg1478@yahoo.com; or visit the Pocono Garden Club on Facebook.
