The Benefit of Bees & Beeswax

Have you ever considered beekeeping or find bees fascinating? Come to the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden to lean about these important pollinators. Master beekeeper Joseph Zgurzynski will provide an introduction to bees, their biology and what it takes to be a beekeeper. Each participant will also make their own rolled beeswax candles to take home. Joseph Zgurzynski is a second generation beekeeper with a lifelong interest in beekeeping and entomology. His beehives are managed as part of Country Barn Farm which is located a few miles north of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania city limits in O’Hara Township.
