The Modderfontein Conservation Society (MCS) will host a discussion on the importance of bees.
Set to be presented by bee expert and environmentalist Andrea Maraschin, the talk titled ‘To bee or not to bee – an introduction to bee-keeping for non-bee-keepers’ will be held on July 29.
Maraschin will talk about the fascinating world of bees and highlight their astonishing social aspects.
As there is a worldwide crisis because of declining bee populations, a broader knowledge of these creatures and their habits could lead to people thinking about creating food sources and havens for them.
