Inside the Hive: An Introduction to Bees and Beekeeping

Join Lakeway MUD for our monthly garden club events.

We encourage local garden club members and any gardening enthusiast (with or without experience) to join us for these educational, hands-on opportunities facilitated by local experts who can help you transform your yard using native and adaptive plants.

Benefits include a beautiful yard that reduces your water usage, is lower maintenance than traditional turf, and supports local wildlife (think: pollinators) and ecosystems.

No RSVP required. Dress casual! We may use the on-site LMUD Pollinator Garden. Free seeds to bring home can be accessed from the on-site Lake Travis Seed Library.

Inside the Hive: An Introduction to Bees and Beekeeping
Presenter: Michael Halprin, beekeeper

Join a local beekeeper for a fascinating look inside the world of honey bees. Learn the basics of the bee life cycle, why bees are essential pollinators for our food supply and ecosystems, and what beekeepers do to care for healthy hives.

The presentation will also include a demonstration of common beekeeping equipment used to manage and protect bee colonies.
